How long will the super bowl halftime show be and how long does it usually last?

Viewers who want to consume the full Super Bowl experience – the football game itself, the commercials and the halftime show – won’t be able to take a break. Unless you have an iron bladder and are well-off enough that you have someone serving you beverages and snacks throughout the 3-plus hour excursion then you will obviously need to get up from your couch once or twice. So in your planning for the Big Game you may be asking how long will the Super Bowl halftime show be and how long does it usually last?

The performance itself typically lasts around 13 minutes. Pencil in Rihanna to be on stage in Glendale, Arizona around 13 minutes. Setting up the stage and taking it down takes some time as well. So expect halftime of the Super Bowl to last around 25 minutes in total. That is 10 minutes more than the usual NFL halftime length, which is 15 minutes.

Expect the Rihanna Super Bowl halftime to last around 13 minutes

Rihanna is expected to sing many of her hit songs including Umbrella, Love The Way You Lie, Disturbia, Work and Rude Boy among others. Performers in Super Bowl halftime shows usually blend songs together in quick-hit versions due to the time restraints. It’s basically like fitting an entire concert into 13 minutes.

What time does the Super Bowl halftime show start?

Those only interested in watching Rihanna belt out her classics will want to be in front of the couch around 8 p.m. ET. The first half of the game usually lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes.
