The Super Bowl is almost here. If you’re still asking “what time is the Super Bowl?” or scrambling to figure out where to watch, you’re in the right place. We’ve got everything you need: kickoff time, streaming options, latest odds, and where to bet on the biggest game of the year.

The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots meet at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California for Super Bowl 60. It’s a rematch 11 years in the making. The last time these two faced off in the championship, Malcolm Butler picked off Russell Wilson at the goal line to seal the Patriots’ fourth Lombardi Trophy.

This time, Seattle is the favorite. New England is playing the underdog role with a young quarterback trying to bring the franchise back to glory.

What Time Does the Super Bowl Start?

Super Bowl 2026 kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, February 8. The game takes place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It’s the same venue that hosted Super Bowl 50 back in 2016 when Peyton Manning rode off into the sunset with a win over the Panthers.

For those wondering what time the Super Bowl ends, expect the final whistle somewhere around 10:00-10:30 p.m. ET depending on how the game flows. The halftime show adds extra time, and close games with lots of stoppages can push things later.

Super Bowl Kickoff Time by Time Zone

NBC’s pregame coverage starts at 12:00 p.m. ET with “Road to the Super Bowl” followed by the Super Bowl LX Pregame Show at 1:00 p.m. ET. If you want the full experience, that’s over six hours of football content before the game even kicks off.

What Channel Is the Super Bowl On?

The Super Bowl airs on NBC for the English broadcast and Telemundo for Spanish coverage. Mike Tirico handles play-by-play with Cris Collinsworth on analysis. Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung are on the sidelines.

For cord-cutters wondering where the Super Bowl is streaming, you’ve got options.

How to Watch the Super Bowl: Streaming Options

One thing to note: Fubo is currently in a contract dispute with NBC, so the network’s channels aren’t available on that platform right now. If you were planning to use Fubo, you’ll need a backup plan.

Peacock is the most affordable big-screen streaming option at $10.99/month. Some people are searching for a Peacock free trial. Those aren’t currently available, but the one-month cost is worth it for the Super Bowl alone.

When Is the Halftime Show?

Bad Bunny headlines the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. It’s the first halftime performance done primarily in Spanish, and Bad Bunny is the first Latino solo artist to headline the big stage.

The Super Bowl halftime show typically starts around 90 minutes after kickoff. That puts the expected start time somewhere between 8:00-8:15 p.m. ET. The actual performance runs about 12-15 minutes, though the entire halftime segment stretches closer to 30 minutes with stage setup and teardown.

If you’re only tuning in for Bad Bunny, park yourself on the couch by 7:45 p.m. ET to be safe.

Pregame Performers

Before kickoff, you’ll see a stacked lineup of pregame performances:

• Charlie Puth — The Star-Spangled Banner
• Brandi Carlile — “America the Beautiful”
• Coco Jones — “Lift Every Voice and Sing”

Check out our national anthem odds for betting markets on Charlie Puth’s performance length.

The Matchup at a Glance

Both teams finished the regular season 14-3. The Seahawks earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed and rolled through the playoffs behind that elite defense. The Patriots came in as the AFC’s No. 2 seed and grinded through the Chargers, Texans, and Broncos, winning a sloppy, snow-filled AFC Championship in Denver.

This is the 12th Super Bowl appearance in Patriots franchise history. They’re chasing a record seventh Lombardi Trophy. The Seahawks are making their first trip to the big game since that heartbreaking loss in 2015.

The quarterback matchup is the headline. Drake Maye is the young star trying to bring New England back to glory. Sam Darnold is living out a redemption story after years of struggles with the Jets and bouncing around the league.
