What time will the Patriots vs. Seahawks game end? Super Bowl LX schedule explained

The biggest game of the American football sports Super Bowl LX is set for Sunday, February 8th 2026, as the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Fans around the world are excited about the game. Here is everything you need to know about the timing especially when the game will finish on Super Bowl night.

Super Bowl LX kickoff and pregame schedule

Super Bowl LX is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) (3:30 p.m. Pacific Time), when the first play will occur on the field. Before that, broadcasters will fill the afternoon with stories, analysis and previews with pregame coverage starting around 1 p.m. ET.



When the teams run onto the field, fans should be ready for a full night of football, entertainment, and special moments. Ceremonies such as the national anthem, coin toss, player introductions and other pregame activities usually begin a few minutes before the scheduled start.

The Super Bowl halftime show is one of the major attractions of the evening, and this year Bad Bunny will headline the performance. Based on the flow of typical Super Bowl games, the halftime show is expected to start roughly 1 hour 30 - 2 hours after kickoff which is usually between 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET.



Unlike a normal NFL game, the Super Bowl halftime show lasts longer than usual because of the elaborate performance setup and breakdown. The extended show means the broadcast continues without long pauses or breaks.

Super Bowl LX estimated game end time

A regular NFL game has 60 minutes of playing time, split into four 15-minute quarters, but the Super Bowl tends to run much longer on TV due to commercials, reviews, timeouts and the halftime show. Historically, Super Bowls last around 3 hours and 37 minutes on average, from kickoff to the final whistle.

If the game goes as planned and doesn't go into overtime, Super Bowl LX should end between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m. ET. Some Super Bowls have concluded a little earlier or later in the past, but most of them end in this broad time frame.



If the game goes into overtime, the end time could be possibly approaching 10:45 p.m. ET or beyond, because postseason overtime rules give both teams a chance to possess the ball.

For fans planning a Super Bowl night, this schedule means the action will span most of the evening. Many viewers treat the game as a full-night event, starting with pregame shows and continuing through the post-game celebrations.

For viewers in the U.S., the evening of February 8 promises entertainment, drama and, barring overtime, a likely finish by around 10 to 10:30 p.m. ET making Super Bowl LX a perfect event to gather friends and family for a night of football and fun.
