You may know that the kickoff for the 2025 Super Bowl will be held this Sunday, but do you know what time it will start and end? With a game as anticipated as this, knowing where and when to watch is critical.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a highly anticipated Super Bowl match-up at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9. The Chiefs enter the contest following a Jan. 26 win over the Buffalo Bills. That came a few hours after the Eagles punched their ticket to the Super Bowl with a comprehensive win over the Washington Commanders. 

But while millions of fans are eagerly anticipating the start of the big game, some may not know exactly when the Super Bowl will start and end. 

Below, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the Super Bowl schedule, from kickoff to the very end of 2025’s big game.

What time does pre-game Super Bowl 2025 coverage start?

The pre-game coverage for this year’s Super Bowl will begin at 1 p.m. ET on Fox. According to Fox Sports, both Fox NFL Sunday and FOX NFL Kickoff will combine to provide five and half hours of pregame coverage, analysis and predictions. Curt Menefee is set to host the special edition broadcast heading into the game.

What time is the Super Bowl kickoff?

Kickoff for the game is set for approximately 6:30 p.m. ET. The game will air on Fox, Tubi, Fubo and the platforms detailed below.

If you’re looking for a TV streaming service option that doesn’t require a contract but still gives you an easy way to watch the NFL games, Fubo could be worth exploring. The service offers comprehensive sports coverage, combining NFL games on Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN and the NFL Network, in addition to NCAA football channels.

What time does the Super Bowl halftime show start?

The Super Bowl halftime show is expected to begin sometime between 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET, according to Fox Sports. This is just an approximate time range, however, based on the average game lasting around three to four hours, so stay tuned to the progress of the game. Kendrick Lamar will headline this year’s show.

You can watch the halftime show, and other major games and sporting events, via a subscription to Sling TV. With the Orange + Blue tier package, you can watch ESPN, ABC, NBC, and Fox. This plan comes with 46 channels with local NFL games, nationally broadcast games, and a major 50 hours of DVR storage, so you don’t have to worry about recording too much football.

How long does the Super Bowl game usually last?

The length of the big game will largely depend on what happens (and doesn’t happen) on the field. However, according to Sports Illustrated, the average game length for Super Bowls played from 2004 to 2024 was 3 hours and 38 minutes. If that average holds for 2025, viewers can expect the game to conclude around 10:08 p.m. ET.

While that average may be what viewers can expect from this year’s big game, NFL games frequently last much longer. Fortunately you won’t have to miss a minute of the action with Hulu + Live TV. This service includes 90 channels, including NFL games and Fox broadcasts. Subscribers also get access to NFL preseason games and studio shows. The service also include ESPN+ and Disney+, making it particularly valuable for the full household.
