The length of a competitive CS:GO match can vary a lot, but generally, they last anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour. It really depends on how evenly matched the teams are and how many rounds go the full distance. Since matches are first to 16 wins (with the possibility of overtime), the total match time can add up, especially with the halftime switch and any tactical timeouts teams might use.

About 45 mins on average, but it's a dice roll. If both teams are head-to-head, you might find yourself in a nail-biter that stretches past an hour. If one team is steamrolling the other, you could be done in half an hour. Either way, make sure you've got snacks.

An hour, give or take. But honestly, when you're in the zone, time flies.

45 minutes? More like an eternity when you're stuck with a team that doesn't communicate!
