U6 soccer games last 20 minutes. U8 soccer games last 40 minutes. U10 soccer games last 50 minutes. U12 soccer games last 60 minutes. Open matches often continue beyond this time depending on the number of goals scored. The length of a soccer game varies depending on how many goals are scored. If no one scores during the course of the game, it will usually be over in about an hour for an eight-year-old player. For example, if there are five players on the field and they each have one chance to score, then there would be two goals scored on average. An eight-year-old child who spends half of their time playing soccer and half watching their friends play will probably only see some of the action. It's not unusual for young children to spend several hours at a time watching their favorite players on television or in person at a stadium. For older children, teenagers, and adults, the game lasts much longer. Two goals scored in the first 10 minutes of a soccer match will most likely result in a game that lasts two hours. A game with no other goals scored can sometimes go on for more than three hours.
