Abstract
The results on the direct measurements of the W-boson width, based on the data collected by the Tevatron experiments CDF and D{\O}at Fermilab during {\RunI} from 1992 to 1996 and {\RunII} since 2001 are summarized. The combination of the published {\RunI} and preliminary {\RunII} results, taking correlated uncertainties properly into account, is presented. The resulting preliminary Tevatron average for the total decay width of the W boson is: , where the total error consists of a statistical part of and a systematic part of .
