How long do the Sub-Events run for?

Is there anyway in-game to see how long an Event’s subs will go for?

I only play for progression. When I have a day off, I like to join an event just before (I think) a sub is ending. That way I can clear out 2 subs in one session.

But once in a while I get dooped, like with Webbed Wonder, where the first sub event (Walk in the Park) is more than 24 hours long. Is it my responsibility to keep track and remember these things, or can I find that info within the game before I begin to play it?

Thanks!

    Top right corner (on mobile) of the sub screen shows how long is left in the sub.
    It will either be counting down from 24hrs or from 1d24hrs.

    In the info bar on the bottom of the screen (on Steam) in the sub there is a timer that shows how much time is left.

    There is no way to know this, however, in advance of starting the event.
    For that level of detail it would need to be tracked outside of the game.

    Might I suggest this amazing spreadsheet as a way to enjoy the labors others have already put in to this effort.

    Yes, sorry if I was unclear. I was asking about knowing the durations prior to joining the events. I appreciate your help. I’ll just keep a list for myself.

    Thanks again!

    Probably also worth noting there are 3 and 4 day versions of some PvEs, so the only way to check before playing is by looking at the total event end time. If it's 5 days, you've got a 4 day event with a 2 day sub. I think Meet R&G is the only one that has a middle 2 day sub of the top o0f my head, but I could well be wrong.

    The MPQ Brackets spreadsheet also tracks the next event and specifies if it's the 3- or 4-day variant. When the 4-day variant is run, there is a 48-hour sub (with the exception of Operation Spider Silk which has all 24-hour subs).

    This information is located at the top right-hand corner of the spreadsheet, right below the "Notes" in column R:
