Want to know when the Super Bowl 2025 starts? You've come to the right place. Our guide below explains all the Super Bowl LIX timings worldwide – ahead of the kickoff later today at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Whether you're a big NFL fan or not, the Super Bowl is a huge cultural occasion, so you'll want to know what time the game is, so you can tune in early for the pre-game, catch the flyover and national anthem, or just rock up just in time for Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show.
What we can't tell you is who will win Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs. The two teams duked it out for the Lombardi Trophy two years ago and the Patrick Mahomes's Chiefs are once again favorites to take victory.
Attended by Taylor Swift and President Donald Trump, Super Bowl 59 is shaping up to be an epic NFL showdown and we'll be posting live Super Bowl updates all weekend. Now, here is the Super Bowl 2025 kickoff time where you are.

When does the Super Bowl TV coverage start?
In the US and Canada, live coverage of Super Bowl is expected to start later today at 6pm EST / 5pm CST / 4pm MST / 3pm PST.
In the UK, live coverage is tipped to start at 10.45pm GMT; and in Australia, the buildup gets underway at 10am AEDT (Monday, February 10).
When is the Super Bowl kickoff time?
Super Bowl kickoff is scheduled for 5.30pm CST (local time) later today (Sunday, February 9). However, the game will likely start a little bit later than that and last for around four hours including the halftime show.
Here are the kickoff times around the world:
- 3.30pm PST – Pacific Standard Time
- 4.30pm MST – Mountain Standard Time
- 5.30pm CST – Central Standard Time
- 5.30pm CST – Mexico City, Mexico
- 6.30pm EST – Eastern Standard Time
- 8.30pm BRT – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- 11.30pm GMT – United Kingdom
- 12.30am CET – Central Europe (Mon, Feb 10)
- 1.30am SAST – South Africa (Mon, Feb 10)
- 3.30am GST – Dubai, UAE (Mon, Feb 10)
- 5am IST – New Delhi, India (Mon, Feb 10)

- 10.30am AEDT – Australia (Mon, Feb 10)
- 12.30pm NZDT – New Zealand (Mon, Feb 10)
What time is the national anthem at Super Bowl 2025?
The national anthem usually takes place around 10 minutes before kickoff, so you can expect Jon Batiste to take the stage at 6.20pm EST / 5.20pm CST / 4.20pm MST / 3.20pm PST / 11.20pm GMT / 10.20am AEDT.
Recent performances have lasted anywhere between 90 seconds and two and a half minutes. Last year, Reba McEntire's rendition lasted just 96 seconds from start to finish. Batiste's national anthem will be supported by Stephanie Nogueras in sign language.
What time is Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show?
We're in the lap of the gods – or at least Mahomes and Hurts – when it comes to predicting what time the half-time show will start.
That's because the clock stops between plays in the NFL, and the quarterbacks and coaches can make each 15-minute quarter last an eternity if they want it to.
At an estimate, though, we'd expect Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show to start at around 8pm EST / 7pm CST / 6pm MST / 5pm PST / 1am GMT / 12pm AEDT.
The mini-concert typically lasts for around 15 minutes, but they always pack in loads of songs.
What time does Super Bowl 2025 finish?
Again, there's no telling how long the Super Bowl will last, and it's likely going to be either too long or too short depending on whether you're wearing red or green.
The game usually ends between three-and-a-half and four hours after kick-off, so we wouldn't count on Super Bowl 59 finishing before 10pm EST / 9pm CST / 8pm MST / 7pm PST / 3am GMT / 2pm AEDT.
What time does the Super Bowl pregame show begin?
Again, there's been no exact word on when the Super Bowl pregame entertainment will begin, but seeing as live coverage in the US and Canada gets underway half-an-hour before kickoff, it seems highly unlikely that festivities will start any earlier.
The NFL has officially confirmed that Jon Batiste, Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle will provide the pre-show rendition of America the Beautiful.. Grammy winner Ledisi Young, also a native of New Orleans, will sing Lift Every Voice and Sing.
We'd recommend getting nice and comfortable for 6.30pm EST / 5.30pm CST / 4.30pm MST / 3.30pm PST / 11.30pm GMT / 10.30am AEDT.
