MAIN Recreation Sports Football Super Bowl LII


It's ultimate NFL battle as the top two teams from the AFC and NFC compete for Super Bowl glory -- at the 53rd edition of the Super Bowl.

It all happens on Sunday, February 3, 2019 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia airing live in the US nationally on CBS.

2019 Super Bowl TV schedule & kickoff

On TV, US fans will watch Super Bowl 53 play out nationwide on February 3 beginning at 6 pm ET on CBS television with kickoff time set for 6:30 pm ET. (That's 5:30 pm Central, 4:30 pm Mountain, and 3:30 pm Pacific time.)

Up north, CTV traditionally covers the game for Canada while fans of American football can tune in Down Under with live coverage in Australia on ESPN and One HD.

Across the pond, (and five hours ahead of US East Coast time) the live game is seen during the wee hours on BBC and Sky Sports in the UK.

Super Bowl halftime show

Once the two top teams are ready to play, and advertisers have their Super Bowl commercials set -- all we need is a headliner for the halftime show.

Maroon 5 will take the stage at halftime during Super Bowl 2019.

Performers have to be fast and flashy to fill the 15 minutes allotted. It was Justin Timberlake who got the spotlight in 2018, with Lady Gaga commanding the stage in 2017.

So who will it be this year? While major bets were being placed on Rihanna, Pink, and Kendrick Lamar (and even K-Pop bands EMO and BTS) the final announcement finally came in September when Maroon 5 was chosen to headline the most anticipated live show of the year.

Meanwhile, this year's OTHER big Super Bowl Sunday entertainment -- the 2019 Puppy Bowl -- airs the same day on Animal Planet on the Discovery Channel at 3PM ET.
