What Time Does The Super Bowl End

Super Bowl 58 is fast approaching, set to take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. As one of the most highly anticipated sports events of the year, the Super Bowl draws in viewers from around the world. Unlike regular NFL games, the Super Bowl does not start as late due to its global audience.

Super Bowl Kick-Off Time

This year’s Super Bowl will commence during daylight hours, with kick-off scheduled for 3:30 p.m. local time in Las Vegas. For viewers on the East Coast, the game will start at 6:30 p.m. This translates to an 11:30 p.m. kick-off time in the UK and a 12:30 a.m. CET kick-off time. Before the kick-off, viewers can enjoy the pre-game festivities, including the national anthems, coin toss, player entrances, and the traditional flyover.

Expected Super Bowl Duration

The average duration of a Super Bowl typically exceeds three hours. If this year’s game follows suit, it will likely conclude under the stadium floodlights as darkness descends over Las Vegas. For viewers on the East Coast, the game will extend into the Sunday night primetime hours, while UK and European fans can expect the game to finish in the early hours of Monday.

Historical Super Bowl Duration

Super Bowls tend to run longer than regular NFL games due to factors such as commercials and an extended halftime show. Halftime during a standard game lasts for 12 minutes, but during the Super Bowl, it extends to 30 minutes to accommodate commercials, analysis, and the highly anticipated musical performances. In recent years, the average duration of a Super Bowl has been around three hours and thirty-nine minutes. Given the 6:30 p.m. ET kick-off time this year, viewers can anticipate the game to conclude close to 11 p.m. ET.

However, the exact duration can vary, especially if the game goes into overtime like the NFC Championship and AFC Championship games. In such cases, the Super Bowl could potentially end even later than the projected time.

Previous Super Bowl End Times

Looking back at previous Super Bowls, the duration of the game has fluctuated. For instance, the Super Bowl in 2024 finished at 3:10 p.m. GMT (10:10 p.m. ET), which was considered a relatively quick game lasting three hours and 30 minutes. In contrast, the 2019 Super Bowl concluded at 3:25 a.m. GMT (10:25 p.m. ET) after nearly four hours of play.

Over the past decade, the average duration of a Super Bowl has been three hours and 39 minutes. Based on this trend, a reasonable prediction for this year’s game would be a finish time around 3:09 p.m. GMT (10:09 p.m. ET).

As fans gear up for Super Bowl 58, they can expect an exciting game that may extend into the late hours of the night, providing thrilling moments and memorable performances both on and off the field.
