What Time Does the Super Bowl End?
The Super Bowl — including the halftime show — usually lasts about 3 hours and 40 minutes, based on average Super Bowl length over the last 10 years. Typically, the Super Bowl has a longer duration than other NFL football games due to a longer pregame, halftime, and commercial breaks.
That means you can expect the 2025 Super Bowl to end around 10:10 p.m. ET — and almost certainly no earlier than 9:40 p.m. ET.
What Time will the Super Bowl Halftime Show Start?
The 2025 Super Bowl Halftime show with Kendrick Lamar and special guest SZA is likely to start around 8:15 p.m. ET — give or take 20 minutes either way. However, there is no official start time.
The actual start time depends on how long the first half is. The Super Bowl Halftime Show typically lasts about 15 minutes once it begins.

Who are the Players to Watch in the 2025 Super Bowl?
While the Super Bowl is headlined by the Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes — who PrizePicks is offering a Free Pick on for the Super Bowl — there are many other stars to watch on both sides of the ball.
For the Eagles, who will play as the home team, look for running back Saquon Barkley (#26), quarterback Jalen Hurts (#1), linebacker Nolan Smith (#3), and cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (#27) as some of the team’s standout players.
For the Chiefs, who will look to win three straight Super Bowls for the first time in history, outside of Mahomes, keep an eye on America’s darling Travis Kelce (#87), defensive end George Karlaftis (#56), and kicker Harrison Butker (#7) — who made the game-winning field goal last time these teams played in the Super Bowl.
