What Time & Channel Is The Super Bowl On?
The Super Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Eastern on FOX. The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV in Miami, Florida.
Of course, the game itself isn’t the only thing to watch on Super Bowl Sunday. There are also several hours of pregame activities and some postgame content. Many fans also enjoy watching the commercials since the ads are famous for featuring notable actors, film trailer debuts, and exclusive sneak peeks, none of which should disappoint this year.
