What Time Does the Super Bowl Start in Every Time Zone?
On Sunday, Feb. 8, Super Bowl LX is scheduled to rock Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with the Seattle Seahawks going up against the New England Patriots.
So, as you're getting your chips and dip ready for the big game, remember that it starts at different times in different time zones.
For those on the East Coast, it's an evening event and lead right up until bedtime for many viewers who have to get up bright and early on Monday morning for work. On the West Coast, it's an afternoon affair and gives viewers the option for an early bedtime.
Super Bowl Start Time in Every Time Zone
Here's how the Super Bowl schedule shakes out in different time zones. On the East Coast, it starts at 6:30 p.m. ET. For Central time, it's 5:30 p.m. In Mountain time, it's at 4:30 p.m. MT, and for those on the West Coast, it starts at 3:30 p.m. PT.
Of course, these start times are approximate, and the actual kickoff time varies by a few minutes, due to the introductions, singing of the National Anthem, coin toss and other tidbits that start any NFL football game.
NBC's pre-game coverage starts at noon ET and 9 a.m. PT, and they have pre-game action all day on NBC and Peacock. The Super Bowl broadcast is on NBC, and there are also Spanish-language options on Telemundo and Universo. If you're something who would rather stream, it's also on Peacock.
Who is Playing in the Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl will see the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco, California. Seeing these two teams against each other at the big game in 2026 ushers in a new era.
"This NFL season has been far from what we've become accustomed to in recent years," Jeffri Chadiha of the NFL's official website states in a piece out on Feb. 4. "Before the Chiefs embarked on their dynastic run, the Patriots were the league's resident bully. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady racked up six Super Bowl wins and claimed three other AFC championships over their 20 campaigns together. This was the season when we remembered what parity is supposed to look like in pro football."
Before the game, Grammy-nominated musician Charlie Puth will sing the National Anthem. It's an honor that's he's dreamed about for years.
"I actually have always wanted to do this," Puth said in a Rolling Stone magazine interview about the opportunity to sing at the Super Bowl. "I recorded a little demo, just me singing with the Rhodes and sent it to Roc Nation. I've been told Jay-Z loved it, and it got to Roger Goodell and they all said that I could do it."
