Hey folks, it’s your boy back again with another deep dive into the everyday stuff we all wonder about. Today, I’m tackling something that had me scratching my head: figuring out the exact start time for the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show. You know, that big spectacle everyone talks about? Yeah, that one.
So, I started where anyone would— the internet. I found out that the Super Bowl kickoff was at 6:30 p.m. ET. Now, knowing that a football game usually takes around 3 to 4 hours, and the halftime show usually starts 90 minutes after the kickoff, I did some quick math.
Here’s how I broke it down:
- Kickoff Time: 6:30 p.m. ET.
- Usual Game Duration: 3-4 hours.
- Wait Time to Halftime: Around 90 minutes.
I looked into it, and some sources said that the halftime show for an NFL game is pretty short, like 12-15 minutes. But, get this, the Super Bowl halftime is way longer, about 20 to 30 minutes, to fit in all those big performances.
Then, I checked out a few different sites. Some were saying the halftime show would probably start between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET. And yeah, they were all like, “It depends on how the game goes,” which makes sense.
So, after piecing all this info together, I’m thinking the halftime show was set to start around 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. ET. That’s 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for those on the Pacific side. I also saw that it was broadcasted on CBS and Nickelodeon, and you could stream it on Paramount+, but you’d need a subscription for that.
I even found out who performed last year — Rihanna! And the year before, it was Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and a bunch of other big names. Pretty cool, right?
So there you have it. It took a bit of digging and piecing together info from different places, but I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on when the Super Bowl halftime show kicked off. Hope this helps you plan your Super Bowl party a bit better next year!
Catch you all in the next one. Peace out!
