Super Bowl LX will be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers.

Believe it or not, it is the third time San Francisco has hosted a Super Bowl, and the second one at Levi’s Stadium, which was built in 2014.

Let’s take a closer look at the finer details for Super Bowl LX, 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?

Does the Super Bowl always start at 6:30 PM ET? Yes, pretty much. The Super Bowl starts at approximately 6:30 PM EST, but oftentimes kickoff is a few minutes later. NBC will be broadcasting the event on February 8, 2026.
