But if youâre expecting baseball to cycle back as Americaâs favorite game, youâll need to wait. And wait. And wait. A baseball game this season takes, on average, 3 hours and 8 minutes to play, through games of last week. At that pace, Major League Baseball will set a record for longest average game time in its history. Games are 13 minutes longer than they were in 2010 and 28 minutes longer than they were 30 years ago. In an age when you can have a movie delivered to your TV immediately, streaming over the Internet, baseball seems, at times, out of step.
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.
