Super Bowl LX estimated game end time

A regular NFL game has 60 minutes of playing time, split into four 15-minute quarters, but the Super Bowl tends to run much longer on TV due to commercials, reviews, timeouts and the halftime show. Historically, Super Bowls last around 3 hours and 37 minutes on average, from kickoff to the final whistle.If the game goes as planned and doesn’t go into overtime, Super Bowl LX should end between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m. ET. Some Super Bowls have concluded a little earlier or later in the past, but most of them end in this broad time frame.If the game goes into overtime, the end time could be possibly approaching 10:45 p.m. ET or beyond, because postseason overtime rules give both teams a chance to possess the ball.For fans planning a Super Bowl night, this schedule means the action will span most of the evening. Many viewers treat the game as a full-night event, starting with pregame shows and continuing through the post-game celebrations.For viewers in the U.S., the evening of February 8 promises entertainment, drama and, barring overtime, a likely finish by around 10 to 10:30 p.m. ET making Super Bowl LX a perfect event to gather friends and family for a night of football and fun.
