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

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 CBS air Super Bowl LVIII with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo getting the call.
Super Bowl LIX will feature the duo of Kevin Burkhardt and former NFL legend Tom Brady providing insightful knowledge of the game. It will be their first time working the Super Bowl together since it’s Brady’s first season as an announcer.

Super Bowl history
The 2025 event will be the 59th Super Bowl in NFL history. 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.

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.
