How To Watch Super Bowl LX In Ireland & The UK
Here’s what you need to know about how to watch the Super Bowl in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
When Does Super Bowl LX Start In Ireland And The UK?
Super Bowl LX kicks off at 11.30pm in Ireland and the UK on Sunday, February 8th, 2026.
The game will begin at 3.30pm local time in Santa Clara, California, where the Super Bowl is being played at Levi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Super Bowl LX will see the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks. The Patriots are the AFC champions and the designated home team, while the Seahawks are the NFC champions and the designated away team.
This will be the second time these teams have met in the Super Bowl, having previously faced each other in 2015, when the Patriots lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy following a 28–24 victory.
What Time Does The Super Bowl Halftime Show Start?
The Super Bowl LX Halftime Show is expected to begin at approximately 1am GMT.
There is no fixed start time for the Halftime Show, as it begins once the first half of the game has concluded and the length of NFL halves can vary.
If you are primarily tuning in for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, it is recommended that you are watching from around 12.45am to ensure you do not miss the start.
Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. The global superstar recently won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards and will deliver a Spanish-language performance, making this the first Super Bowl Halftime Show performed entirely in a language other than English.
Cardi B, the girlfriend of New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, is heavily rumoured to make a guest appearance during the Halftime Show, while J Balvin is another artist linked with a possible appearance. Neither has been officially confirmed.
What Time Does The Super Bowl End In Ireland And The UK?
Super Bowl LX is expected to finish at around 3am for viewers in Ireland and the UK.
If the game is tied at the end of the fourth quarter, overtime will be played. In that scenario, the Super Bowl could run as late as 3.45am or even close to 4am.
The most recent Super Bowl to go to overtime took place in 2024 and finished at approximately 3.45am.
There is no fixed end time for the Super Bowl, but the average NFL game lasts around three hours and 15 minutes. When the extended Super Bowl halftime show is factored in, this provides a reliable estimate for when the game will conclude.
