What time is the Super Bowl halftime show?
Super Bowl Sunday has long been a celebration of football, but in recent years, the halftime show has become just as anticipated as the game itself.
As fans gear up for Super Bowl LIX, many are just as focused on which superstar will take the stage and what time the performance will start, often planning their parties and gatherings around the show rather than the game.
With high-profile artists like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Bruno Mars gracing the halftime stage in past years, the spectacle has evolved into a cultural moment that rivals the championship itself.
