What time is the Super Bowl halftime show 2024?

The Super Bowl halftime show will take place on Sunday 11th February 2024, mid-way through the game, as the name suggests!

The game will kick off at 11:30pm UK time, this means that we can expect the halftime show to take place at approximately 1:15am in the early hours of Monday 12th February.

However, timings are very flexible due to the nature of the game. Everything hinges on what happens in the first two quarters. Keep an eye on the action from 12:30am onwards as the clock counts down to the halfway stage.

The halftime show typically lasts between 12 and 15 minutes as the football players take a break from the intensity of the game.

Who is performing at the Super Bowl halftime show?

The Super Bowl 2024 halftime show will see Usher take to the stage as the main event.

He was confirmed for the prestigious slot back in September 2023 and follows in the footsteps of a number of huge names in recent years.
