The NFL football championship is finally here! This Sunday, the most important game will take place, where the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will face off for glory. But the game isn’t the only thing fans are excited about; the Super Bowl halftime show is also highly anticipated.
Just like in previous years, the Super Bowl halftime show promises to be a unique spectacle. Here, we’ll tell you when it starts and all the details so you don’t miss a single moment. Take note!
What time does the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show start?
The Super Bowl halftime show typically lasts between 12 and 15 minutes and begins once the first two quarters of the game have ended.
The opening ceremony will start at 5:00 PM, followed by the performance of the U.S. national anthem, so the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles is expected to begin around 5:40 PM.
Therefore, the halftime show will likely start an hour later, around 7:00 PM, although this could vary depending on what happens during the game, as sometimes the match can run longer.

One of the biggest draws of the Super Bowl are the famous advertisements. As tradition goes, many advertisers have released teasers of the commercials that will air during the Super Bowl, aiming to capture the audience’s attention before they go live. Everyone wants their ads to be impactful and memorable, as with an investment of up to $8 million for a spot in the NFL final, the commercial must be top-tier.
In these commercials, it’s common for brands and advertising agencies to use well-known figures from the arts, sports, and entertainment, so it’s expected that this Super Bowl edition will feature numerous celebrities.
Former English footballer David Beckham, actor Ben Affleck, TV host Martha Stewart, urban artist Bad Bunny, and singer Doja Cat are among the famous personalities participating in various ads, so make sure to stay tuned!
