When do the broadcasts start, who are the commentators and who is there as an expert?

How long does the Super Bowl 2025 last?
One of the most important questions before every Super Bowl is the duration – how long does the Super Bowl actually last?
The average Super Bowl lasts around 4 hours. However, individual games can also last 5 or 6 hours. It always depends on the course of the game.
What makes calculating the Super Bowl duration so difficult is the net playing time. This means that the clock is stopped at every interruption. This makes it impossible to determine exactly how long the Super Bowl will last.
As a guide to how long the Super Bowl 2025 will last, the following calculation applies: There are four quarters of 15 minutes each. After two quarters, the first half of the game is over and there is a break of almost 30 minutes, during which the brilliant halftime show begins. This is followed by the second half with quarters 3 and 4.
When does the Super Bowl end?
When the Super Bowl ends cannot be determined exactly, as the net playing time applies and the clock is always stopped during interruptions.
If the Super Bowl is expected to last around 4 hours and kickoff is at 0:30 German time, then the game ends at around 4:30.
However, as an NFL game can last even longer due to the net playing time, the Super Bowl may not finish until 5:00 a.m. or even later.
In the event of an overtime tie after regular playing time, the Super Bowl could last even longer.
The venue and stadium for Super Bowl LIX
The 2025 Super Bowl will be held in New Orleans. The venue for the 59th NFL final is the Ceasars Superdome. The stadium, also known as “The Dome”, was opened in 1975 and is located in the heart of the city’s business district.
The Ceasars Superdome has a capacity for 73,200 spectators and is the home of the New Orleans Saints.
The arena, which opened in 2020 and cost around 1.8 billion US dollars (!), is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders.
The arena has been named after the hotel and casino company “Caesars Entertainment Inc.” since 2021. The contract runs for 20 years and has a financial volume of 138 million US dollars for a new name for the Superdome. Since then, the arena has been called Caesars Superdome.
New Orleans and the Superdome are the venue for the Super Bowl for the 8th time in total. Super Bowl XLVII (2013) was held here for the last time.
The Superdome used to be the home venue of the NBA team New Orleans Jazz, which is now based in Utah. It has also hosted other major events such as Wrestlemania (2014 and 2018) and regularly hosts concerts.
Super Bowl LIX tickets: How much does a ticket cost?
Every football fan would love to attend the Super Bowl. However, this is an expensive pleasure. Super Bowl LIX ticket prices are very high. From 10,000 to even 100,000 dollars for exquisite box seats is always the talk of the town.
According to cbsnews.com, the average ticket price on the secondary market for Super Bowl 2025 is around 10,000 dollars. The cheapest Super Bowl 2025 ticket is available for around 8,000 dollars.
However, if you want one of the best seats on the center line, you will probably have to fork out around 50,000 US dollars.
However, the official Super Bowl tickets are much cheaper. They cost around 600 US dollars. But: Super Bowl tickets are not available for free sale, so you have to register for the official NFL ticket lottery by June 1, 2023 at the latest to be able to take part in the draw.
However, there are only around 1,000 tickets to “win” in this lottery. Well over 10 million people are registered every year.
Super Bowl LIX Teams: Who will play in Super Bowl 2025?
Who will play in Super Bowl LIX on February 9 will be decided over the course of the season. First, the teams have to compete in the regular season and secure a spot for the 2025 NFL Playoffs.
The Super Bowl teams are always the champions of the AFC and NFC conferences.
There are a total of three rounds in the playoffs up to the Super Bowl – Wild Card Round, Divisional Round and the Conference Finals, in which the respective champion of the AFC or NFC is determined. Only then are the 2025 Super Bowl teams determined, who play for the “NFL championship title”.
Who will win Super Bowl 59?
There are several favorites and contenders in the Super Bowl betting odds.
The biggest favorite to play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the 2025 Super Bowl date in New Orleans is given to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are the reigning champions and also won the year before. But: No team has ever won the Super Bowl three times in a row!
This means that several other teams still have a chance of winning the NFL championship. These include the San Francisco 49ers (finalists in the previous season), the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo, as well as the Detroit Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Who is doing the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2025?
Every year – apart from the sporting aspect – it is THE big topic:
Who is performing in the Super Bowl Halftime Show? The answer is: Kendrick Lamar!
“Meet me in New Orleans on February 9th, you don’t want to miss it. Wear something fancy, even if you’re not there,” said the West Coast rapper in an official statement.
Three years ago, he was already part of the Rap Legends Halftime Show with 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Dr. Dre and Eminem. However, Kendrick Lamar was only given a small part there.
“Few artists have influenced music and culture as profoundly as Kendrick Lamar. Time and time again, Kendrick has proven his unique ability to create moments that resonate, redefine and ultimately shake up the foundation of hip-hop,” Seth Dudowsky, head of music for the NFL, is quoted as saying on the league’s official website.
Lamar has won 17 Grammys in his career to date and received the Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for his album “DAMN”.
How long does the halftime show at the Super Bowl last?
The halftime at the Super Bowl is slightly longer than at all other season games because of the show. While there is normally a twelve-minute break after the second quarter, the break at the Super Bowl is more than twice as long, lasting up to 30 minutes. This is because the stage has to be set up and dismantled for the halftime show.
The halftime show itself lasts around 15 minutes in total.
However, there is no exact time for the start of the halftime show at the Super Bowl. This depends on the course of the game.
With the game starting at 0:30 am and lasting two quarters of 15 minutes each – because the clock is stopped at every interruption – the Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show is expected to start at around 1:30 am. But it could also be 2:00 a.m.
Who will sing the anthem at Super Bowl 59?
There are also three musical highlights before the big Super Bowl final: The National Anthem, the poem “America The Beautiful,” which was actually written for the 4th of July, and also “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the unofficial anthem of African-Americans.
It is not yet known who will sing the national anthem at Super Bowl 2025. And it has also not yet been decided who will perform “America The Beautiful”. Last year, Reba McEntire sang the national anthem and Post Malone performed “America The Beautiful”.
The Super Bowl commercials 2025
The commercials are of course also part of the Super Bowl 2025 broadcast. In addition to the game and the halftime show, they even rank third in the favor of football fans in the USA as part of the NFL final.
They are not just spots, but short films with short stories. The cost of 30 seconds of advertising time this year is around 7 million US dollars.
The US commercials for the almost seven-hour (!) Super Bowl 2025 live broadcast will once again feature numerous stars from the worlds of music, film and sport.
The last Super Bowl broadcast featured soccer god Lionel Messi, the Beckhams and several Hollywood stars as well as NFL legend Tom Brady.
At which Super Bowl time are the advertising clips produced especially for this event played? In the US broadcast the whole time – before the start, in between and of course before and after the halftime show.
