# How long does it take to watch Game of Thrones?

**How long to watch Game of Thrones: about 69 hours**

73 episodes across 8 seasons

Game of Thrones has no fixed episode length at all, which makes the total genuinely hard to pin down. Episodes run from 50 to 82 minutes, and the variance is not random — the later seasons commissioned feature-length instalments as the budget grew, so season 8 alone averages over 65 minutes. HBO has never published a combined runtime. Adding House of the Dragon takes the Westeros total past 85 hours, and the two shows are set 170 years apart, so viewing order is a real choice rather than a formality.

## The numbers

- **Total:** 2 days 21 hours
- **In hours:** 69.4 hours
- **Non-stop:** 2.9 days without sleeping
- **Covers:** 73 episodes across 8 seasons
- **At a realistic pace:** an episode a night
- **That works out as:** about 73 days

## What this assumes

73 episodes at an average of about 57 minutes. HBO sets no slot length, so episode runtimes vary from 50 to 82 minutes and the average conceals real spread.

> Episode runtimes vary from 50 to 82 minutes, so the total is an estimate from an average rather than a published figure.
