Kendrick’s performance will take place during halftime in the game - so it will be shown on both ITV and Sky Sports. Don’t worry about adverts, the set will not be interrupted.

What time will Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show be?

In American football, matches are split into four quarters - and each half is made up of two quarters. Bet you weren’t expecting to have to do maths when you opened this article.

So, Kendrick’s performance will take place after the second quarter has ended. In theory, a quarter should last around 15 minutes - but the clock does stop on numerous occasions throughout the game, so don’t expect the halftime show to be that quick.

The game will kick-off at 11.30pm today (February 9), so you will have to brave it into the early hours of Monday (February 10). However according to Forbes the performance is expected between 1am and 1.30am UK time.

How long will Kendrick Lamar’s performance be?

The rap superstar - and any guests he has up his sleeves - will likely be on stage for less than 15 minutes. Usher’s performance last year, for example, was just shy of 14 minutes.

Can you watch the performance on catch-up?

If you can’t stay up to watch Kendrick’s halftime show, you might be wondering if it is available afterwards. Don’t worry, the NFL channel uploads the full performance each year to its YouTube channel.
