What time is kickoff of Super Bowl 58?

The Kansas City Chiefs will make their fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last five years and are hoping to become a dynasty. Their opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, were a dynasty in the 1980s but haven't won a Super Bowl in nearly three decades.

The Super Bowl is a whole different animal than a regular season game or a playoff game. It's a much bigger event, as it's determining who the champion of the 2023 NFL season will be. One of the changes made to the Super Bowl from a regular season game is when the game begins.

What time does the Super Bowl start?

The Super Bowl kicks off at 5:30 PM CST and will run for approximately three and a half hours. It's a longer run time due to the 15-minute halftime show and the putting up/tearing down of the set for the halftime show.

Chiefs fans know the drill at this point with when the Super Bowl begins since the team has been such a constant force in the big game but for many, this is the only NFL game they'll watch all year. It's rare for a regular-season or playoff game to kick off at 5:30 PM CST but as noted, the Super Bowl is a special event and calls for more time.
