Of course, the Super Bowl halftime show is the stuff of legends, with some of the world's most esteemed artists taking to the field to perform for millions over the decades.

In 2025, Kendrick Lamar will dominate proceedings as the first solo hip-hop artist to command the Super Bowl stage.

The HUMBLE rapper is no stranger to the Greatest Show on Turf following an appearance in 2022 alongside Dr Dre, Mary J Blige, Snoop Dogg and Eminem, but this night belongs solely to Kendrick.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the timing details for the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show.

The game will kick off at 11:30pm UK time, this means that we can expect the halftime show to take place at approximately 1:15am in the early hours of Monday 10th February.

However, timings are very flexible due to the nature of the game. Everything hinges on what happens in the first two quarters. Keep an eye on the action from 12:30am onwards as the clock counts down to the halfway stage.
