Major League Baseball games are still getting longer â a slow drip that figures to increase the likelihood strong action will be taken to curtail the trend. After another slate of nine-inning odysseys on Monday, the average time of game has hit 3 hours, 5 minutes, which would be an all-time high by three minutes for a full season, and a 3% increase from 2016âs average nine-inning game - an even 3 hours. 1  Including extra-inning games, the average game time is 3 hours, 9 minutes. Both numbers trump all-time highs of 3:02 and 3:07, both set in 2014, according to data gathered by Baseball-Reference. As the weather warms and home runs â also headed for an all-time high â continue flying out of the park, games are getting longer.
Asker's rating. 1  Games go a bit quicker than they did a few years ago, but the average game still is roughly 3 hours long. It is hard to give a definite time on a game, because a lot of it is going to depend on how the game is played. 2  Like others have said, most games last about 2.5 to 3 hours. But time of the game depends on nature of what's going on in the game. If the ballgame is a low scoring pitchers duel going into the late innings, the game will go by pretty fast as the pitchings coaches are less likely to make trips to the mound every other inning.
