NFL Q&A: Super Bowl LVIII start time, channel, date, and how to watch

Super Bowl LVIII will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada home of the Las Vegas Raiders.

It is the first time Nevada has hosted a Super Bowl, but you can bet the Las Vegas area will put on a show for the ages.

Let’s take a closer look at the finer details for Super Bowl LVIII, including the Super Bowl start time, where to watch the epic showdown, and more information surrounding the next battle for the Lombardi Trophy.

What time is the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl starts at approximately 6:30 PM EST. CBS will be broadcasting the event on February 11, 2024. But we won’t know who’s scheduled to play in Super Bowl LVIII until the Conference Championship results are in, which always comes two weeks before the NFL’s title game.

Super Bowl start time, TV info, location

  • Date: Sunday, February 11, 2024
  • Time: The Super Bowl start time is approximately 6:30 PM EST
  • Station: CBS
  • Location: Paradise, Nevada (Allegiant Stadium)
  • Announcers: Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst)

The 6:30 PM EST Super Bowl start time is somewhat misleading, as games usually start about 20 minutes after that, thanks to various delays. Typically, broadcasts switch off between the three main networks (CBS, NBC, and Fox). Last season saw FOX air Super Bowl LVII with Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen getting the call.

Super Bowl LVIII will feature the duo of Jim Nantz and former NFL great Tony Romo providing insightful knowledge of the game. It will be their second time working the Super Bowl together after also covering the game in 2019.

There are several ways to watch the Super Bowl, and the most simple way is to tune in to CBS, who is broadcasting this year’s event. If you do not have access to CBS, you can always watch via their CBS Sports App or directly on the CBS Sports website, which will also provide access to the game.

Other streaming options include:

If you’d rather listen to the Super Bowl, NFL+, SiriusXM, and WestwoodOne will all provide access to the NFL’s Championship game.

The 2024 event will be the 58th iteration of the modern Super Bowl. The first game took place back in January of 1967, with the Green Bay Packers taking out the Kansas City Chiefs. Green Bay ultimately won Super Bowl II, too, with a victory over the then-Oakland Raiders.

It was only back in 2002 that the Super Bowl moved to February. That was due to the attacks of Sept. 11 in the United States the previous fall. The NFL decided to keep the big game in February after it had been played the month prior throughout its history.

Here’s a look at the past five Super Bowls

How many fans will be in attendance at the Super Bowl?

Located at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, Super Bowl LVIII will have the venue packed to the brim. The listed capacity for events such as a Super Bowl is 71,835 people. Since it is the biggest sporting event in the nation, expect Allegiant Stadium to test that capacity limit to its full extent.

Who performs at the Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Roc Nation, led by Jay-Z, has been in charge of assembling the Super Bowl halftime show in recent years. Apple Music has now taken over as the new official partner. It’s a five-year contract worth roughly $250 million, but Roc Nation will still be involved in 2023 for Super Bowl LVIII.

The NFL revealed Rihanna as the headlining act, and she put on an absolute show during LVII. We don’t yet know who will be performing in Super Bowl LVIII.

Here’s a look at some of the other most recent performers.

  • LVI: Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige
  • LV: The Weeknd
  • LIV: Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Emme Muniz
  • LIII: Maroon 5 and Travis Scott
  • LII: Justin Timberlake
  • LI: Lady Gaga
  • 50: Coldplay, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars

Super Bowl national anthems of the past

We have seen some absolutely tremendous renditions of the national anthem over the past half-century or so. Whitney Houston’s performance of the song ahead of Super Bowl XXV back in 1991 stands above the rest. It came at a time when the United States found itself at war for the first time since Vietnam decades earlier and captivated the nation.

Mariah Carey’s performance ahead of Super Bowl XXXVI between the then-St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots months after the September 11, 2001, attacks shook the world.

Super Bowl LV offered a fascinating mashup of genres from its dual performers who sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

R&B artist Jazmine Sullivan teamed up with country music star Eric Church for a dynamic duet featuring some truly unique musical interplay. The arrangement itself, though, was a little too flashy, and unlike in the instances of the late, great Houston and Carey, the national anthem seems to be most effective oftentimes when it’s performed in a straightforward fashion, as opposed to being too ornamental in its execution.

Whichever teams and performers take to the field at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024, the venue itself should provide a beautiful backdrop for Super Bowl LVIII.
