When is the Super Bowl?

Keen to find out which National Football Leage (NFL) team will be taking home the Vince Lombardi trophy in 2026?

With all the excitement set to come to a head in February 2026, it’s well worth making plans for the big event now!

Alongside delving into all the essential Super Bowl details (we’re talking where it’s taking place, what time kick-off starts, and who will be headlining the halftime show), The Bierkeller team also set the scene with some Super Bowl history and odds.

From finding out who won the Super Bowl in 2025 to uncovering who is favoured to win the Super Bowl​ this time around, you can all the answers to the most common Super Bowl questions here!

When is the next Super Bowl​?

So, let’s start with the most basic question – when is the super bowl game actually taking place?

In short, all the NFL action will come to a conclusion on Sunday February 8, 2026

This final game of the season has been called ‘the Super Bowl’ since 1969.

Where is the next Super Bowl?

Weighing up whether you should pick up 2026  Super Bowl tickets and travel to see the championship game in-person?

As the Super Bowl isn’t held in the same place every year, travel costs can add up depending on where you’re based.

For 2026, the Super Bowl is currently scheduled to take place at the home of the San Francisco 49ers – Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The 68,500 capacity stadium will host the Super Bowl for a second time, with the last event taking place in 2016, where the Denver Broncos beat the California Panthers 24-10.

Who won the Super Bowl in 2025?

The Philadelphia Eagles won this year’s Super Bowl in dominating fashion, beating the reigning champions Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, denying the Chiefs their “threepeat” and becoming two-time Super Bowl winners.

The Chiefs came into Super Bowl 2025 as clear favourites, making their overwhelming defeat to the Eagles all the more shocking.

Who is the favourite to win the Super Bowl?

Planning on placing a Super Bowl bet as you watch the action unfold, but unsure who to bet on?

Early betting odds have the Phildelphia Eagles as favourites to win the 2026 Super Bowl

Other teams being tipped as close favourites to win are the Kansas City Cheifs, the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills.

What time is the Super Bowl​?

The exact Super Bowl 2026 kick-off time will depend on your time zone.

For those watching in the Central Time Zone or on Central Standard Time (CST), the action begins at 1730.

Those watching in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) can expect all the NFL excitement to hit their screen at 1830.

However, those in the UK and football fans operating on Central European Time (CET) will have to stay up a little longer – the Super Bowl starts at 2330 in the UK and 0030 as per CET.

How long does a Super Bowl last​?

Unsure how much time you should carve out of your sporting schedule to dedicate to the Super Bowl?

If you’re wondering ‘how long is the super bowl’, then you’ve come to the right place.

For those only interested in the NFL game itself, it will only be as long as all the other NFL games – 60 minutes.

This is because every NFL match including the Super Bowl is made up of four 15-minute timed quarters. However, the Super Bowl is well-known for being not only a celebration of American football, but also American music and culture.

From the run up to kick-off through to the halftime show and lots of commercial breaks in between (with more than 100 adverts!), the Super Bowl can last up to four hours in total.

It’s no wonder that it’s considered one of the biggest sporting events in the world!

How often is the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl is an annual game that’s played at the end of the NFL season.

As the final game of the season, it’s long-awaited by many Americans as well as American football fans across the world.

Who is doing the halftime show at the Super Bowl?

While the sporting action of the Super Bowl is one of the biggest reasons to tune into the championship game, that’s not all viewers will be eager to see!

Beyond the NFL excitement, the halftime show offers plenty of entertainment for all.

Typically lasting between 12-15 minutes, the Super Bowl halftime show provides the perfect opportunity to soak up the atmosphere and celebrate some iconic American music (while you top up your drink and order some snacks ready for the final 45 minutes)!

Kendrick Lamar played Super Bowl 2025’s half time show. The US rap sensation’s now iconic half time show (thanks to THAT Drake call out, you know the one…) was the talk of social media for weeks following this years Super Bowl. Whoever has the honour of playing Super Bowl 2026’s half time show certainly has big shoes to fill.
