Super Bowl National Anthem Odds & Past Lengths, Over/Under Results

Updated: February 10, 2025 at 12:31 am EST

The national anthem has been played/performed prior to every Super Bowl except for Super Bowl 11 – Vikki Carr only sang America the Beautiful. Betting on the national anthem is still a somewhat new thing, though.

The first time sportsbooks offered odds on the length of the national anthem at the Super Bowl was in 2007, when Billy Joel performed The Star-Spangled Banner. Since then, it has grown into one of the most popular Super Bowl prop bets.

The NFL has yet to announce who will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, California on Sunday, February 8. We won’t see any national anthem odds until the NFL makes that announcement. For now, you can find the betting lines for last year’s Super Bowl anthem below as well as all the past Super Bowl national anthem betting lines and results.

2025 Super Bowl national anthem betting lines – Jon Batiste | Historical national anthem results

Jon Batiste 2025 Super Bowl National Anthem Odds

Prop	Betting Line	Over Odds	Under Odds
National Anthem Length	119.5 seconds	+105	-130

Super Bowl 59 provided one of the more controversial national anthem lengths, as Jon Batiste went for 120 seconds, when his opening betting line was 120.5. That betting line did come down to 119.5 on Super Bowl Sunday, though.

Jon Batiste will be performing the national anthem at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. The odds above are from DraftKings as of a few hours before kickoff. FanDuel opened the over/under on the length of Batiste’s national anthem at 120.5 seconds, or two minutes and 0.5 seconds. The over opened as the favorite at -122 odds. However, there has been a big shift in the national anthem odds, as the under is now favored at -130 on DraftKings. FanDuel favors the under at -200 odds, though. So, if you’re a national anthem under bettor, DraftKings is where you want to be. If you want to bet the over, FanDuel’s +154 odds are far better than DraftKings’.

BetMGM has reported that 64% of the money bet on the length of the national anthem is on the over, and they have now shortened the over odds to -135. So, the -130 odds on over 119.5 seconds at DraftKings looks like the best line for over bettors.

Jon Batiste Past National Anthem Performances

However, based on Batiste’s past national anthem performances, this line seems a little high (and the shift towards favoring the under makes sense). He performed The Star-Spangled Banner in 2017 at the NBA All-Star Game and only went for 87 seconds, by my count – start the clock at the first word and cut it after the completion of the first “brave”. He also performed the anthem at the US Open in the same year, which he did without a piano, and went 107 seconds. So, based on those two performances, he is averaging 97 seconds. However, many believe he will slow things down with his piano and draw it out more.

Just a heads up – since Super Bowl 52, only three of the eight national anthems have gone over two minutes.

Whether your national anthem bet wins will depend on the line you got. BetMGM has confirmed the national anthem was 120 seconds. The opening line was 120.5 seconds, so it went under this line. But the closing line was 119.5 seconds, which it went over.

The performance of the national anthem at the Super Bowl really took a turn with Whitney Houston at Super Bowl 25. Houston’s anthem went for 1 minute and 56 seconds and we’ve only seen one performance go less than 1 minute and 30 seconds since then—Jewel at Super Bowl 32, who went for 1 minute and 27 seconds.

Prior to Houston, the average length was just 1 minute and 23 seconds.

How Long is the National Anthem During the Super Bowl?

Here are a handful of fun facts and trends we’ve unearthed:

The longest Super Bowl national anthem performance was Alicia Keys at Super Bowl 47, when she went on for 2 minutes and 36 seconds
The shortest Super Bowl anthem performance goes to Neil Diamond at Super Bowl 21, when he only took 1 minute and 2 seconds
All Super Bowls considered, the average Super Bowl national anthem length is 1 minute and 43 seconds
Since Whitney Houston’s performance at Super Bowl 25, the Super Bowl anthem average length has increased to 1 minute and 56 seconds
Since betting lines have been offered, the average Super Bowl national anthem performance has been 1 minute and 58 seconds
The over on national anthem length is 11-6-2 in 18 years
The over on national anthem length has cashed in six of the last seven Super Bowls
The national anthem has gone over 2 minutes in eight of the last 13 Super Bowls
Though Whitney Houston started the trend of drawn out anthems, Tom Sullivan was the first to really extend the Star-Spangled Banner, coming in at 1 minute and 54 seconds in Super Bowl 10 – it’s the only performance that went over 1 minute and 30 seconds until Super Bowl 16

Here’s a quick, high-level view of the betting results:

Super Bowl National Anthem Over/Under Record

Betting Result	Overall Record	Record in Last 5	Record When Outdoors
Over	11-6-2	5-0	3-3-1
Under	6-11-2	0-5	3-3-1

The national anthem at the Super Bowl has only been available to bet on for 19 years now. In that time, the anthem has gone over 11 times, under seven times, and pushed twice.

The Super Bowl anthem has gone over in each of the last five years.

Which States Can Bet on Super Bowl National Anthem?

Unfortunately, the two states who allowed betting on the Super Bowl national anthem last year, Illinois and Maryland, have since changed their tune. There is not a single state where you can bet the 2025 Super Bowl national anthem at a sportsbook. Users from Ontario, Canada have the luxury of betting this Super Bowl prop.

However, with event trading platforms now offering sports trading as well, there is a chance Kalshi will offer trading on the national anthem length to all 50 states (where it’s legal) – I will follow up here if I see the prop open. They do have a couple Super Bowl novelty props available at the moment, though.
