What was the kick off time for Super Bowl XXV?

Answer 1

The 2008 and 2009 Super Bowls were scheduled to kick off at around 6:20 PM. The 2009 Super Bowl will probably actual kick off about the same time the 2008 Super Bowl did, 6:32.

3.32pm - PST (includes California, Seattle)

4.32pm - MST (includes Phoenix)

5.32pm - CST (includes Chicago)

6.32pm - EST (includes New York, Boston, Ohio)

More about last year's official times:

FoxSports, which broadcast the game, plastered "Kickoff 6:17 ET!" all over their site. Many sources indicated that the game will start one minute later, at 6:18 PM. These sites include the official NFL site (www.superbowl.com , and www.nfl.com/superbowl, which it redirects to), the University of Phoenix (where the game was played) site, and Wikipedia.

The official Arizona SuperBowl site http://www.azsuperbowl.com/game_day.aspx was the closest, predicting that kickoff would be at 6:30pm EST.

Answer 2

Super Bowl XLVIII (Super Bowl 48, 2014 Super Bowl):

• The official Super Bowl site lists 6:30 Eastern as the kickoff time
• 6:00 Eastern is usually the time when the broadcasting network (in this case FOX) switches from their pre-game shows to the official broadcast (though technically it's still a pre-game show).
• In previous years, various sites listed various start times, usually down to the specific minute. For Super Bowl 42, FOX (which was broadcasting the game) announced kickoff for 6:17, the NFL said 6:18, and the site hosting the Super Bowl said 6:30. Actual kickoff was 6:32.

So if you'd like to catch some of the pre-game hype, turn on your TVs by 6. But don't expect the game to actually start before 6:30.

United States times by region:

6:30 p.m. Eastern

5:30 p.m. Central

4:30 p.m. Mountain

3:30 p.m. Pacific

Kickoff time for any game depends on the time zone in which it is played. Because the 2012 teams have not yet reached the Super Bowl finals, at this date -- 25Aug11 -- it is not possible to predict the kickoff time.
