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.

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.

MaxineSuper 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
