That’s why everyhting is a little bit longer than in a regular season game. Since it’s the biggest sports event ofthe year in the US, we have more TV commercials, a larger protocol prior to the game, and, of course, a spectacular halftime show. All these ingredients add up to how long does the Super Bowl last.

Super Bowl LVII kickoff is scheduled at 6:30 PM (ET). A regular season game at least has a duration of three hours. If there’s overtime or a lot of scoring possessions, it could go up to four hours. So, in the case of the Super Bowl, four hours is the average time. However, there are always a lot of factors to consider.

For example, Super Bowl XLVII was the longest ever because of a power outage at the Superdome in the New Orleans. After a 34-minute pause, the game lasted a total of 4 hours and 14 minutes. If we analyze the recent games for the title, the exact time for Super Bowl to end could be approximately at 10:30 PM (ET). Four hours is always the estimated time.
