Super Bowl halftime show: Who is performing, when to watch and how to stream
Super Bowl 59 is fast approaching with the Kansas City Chiefs looking to defend their championship title for a third consecutive year — this time against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The two teams previously faced off against each other in 2023, with the Chiefs winning 38-35. The following year, the Kansas City team once again clinched the Super Bowl game against the San Francisco 49ers 25-22.

Now, the Chiefs return to the field hoping for a three-peat against the Eagles at the 2025 Super Bowl taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana on Sunday, February 9, beginning at 6:30 p.m. EST.
While millions of sports fans are no doubt eager for the forthcoming game, there are still a number of people who are more interested in tuning in for the halftime show.
Read below to find out more about who’s performing and when and how to watch it.
Who is performing the halftime show?
This year’s halftime show will be headlined by Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, who will be joined by his longtime collaborator, R&B star SZA.
Lamar, 37, was announced as the halftime performer in September by Jay-Z, whose company Roc Nation works with the NFL to select the halftime show performer.

“Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer,” Jay-Z said in a statement at the time. “His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.”
It’s not yet known if Lamar plans on bringing out any other guest performers.
When is the halftime show and how to watch it
Although football games are scheduled for 60 minutes, they typically last three and a half hours, due to injuries, penalties, and media timeouts. So, there is no set time for when the halftime show will take place. However, since it takes place midway through the game, it’s safe to assume Lamar will likely take the stage between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST.
