What’s the typical playing time for a professional rugby league match?

60 minutes
70 minutes
80 minutes
90 minutes

Answer

A professional rugby league match typically lasts for 80 minutes, divided into two halves of 40 minutes each, with a 10-minute break in between. Each team has 13 players on the field, and the objective is to score more points than the opposing team by grounding the ball over the opponent's goal line or kicking it between the goalposts. Points are awarded for tries, conversions, and penalties.
