When Is the Next Super Bowl
Super Bowl LXI is on Sunday 7 February 2027, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 pm Eastern, which is 11:30 pm UK time on the Sunday night and 4:30 am UK time into the early hours of Monday morning. Super Bowl LX was already played on 1 February 2026, with the Philadelphia Eagles defeating the Kansas City Chiefs at Levi's Stadium. The countdown on this page automatically rolls forward to the next first-Sunday-of-February as soon as the current game finishes, so the URL is evergreen and you do not have to switch pages year on year.
If you are watching from the UK, the practical setup is to nap on the Sunday afternoon, eat dinner at 8 or 9 pm, then settle in around 11 pm for the build-up. Kickoff is 11:30 pm UK; the game itself runs to roughly 3 am with the halftime show landing around 1 am. ITV typically broadcasts the BBC Sports / Sky Sports coverage; subscribers also get NFL Game Pass and DAZN streaming. The countdown shows local kickoff in your browser timezone, so visitors in Sydney see Monday morning kickoff, Mumbai sees Monday breakfast time, and so on.
Planning a Super Bowl Party from the UK
Three things separate a good UK Super Bowl party from a tired one. First, ignore the dip-and-wing American party stereotype: bring out the food at halftime, not at kickoff, because the first quarter is when commitment is tested and people who arrive late miss less. Second, accept that most of your guests will not understand the rules; a printed one-page explainer of "first downs and four downs" plus "red zone scoring" is enough to keep them engaged. Third, run a free squares pool: a 10x10 grid where each square gets randomly assigned numbers 0-9 for each team's last digit at the end of each quarter, with the four winners taking a small prize per quarter.
Food: chicken wings, nachos with melted cheese, pulled-pork sliders, and pizza scale to any group size. Drinks: budget around 3 units per adult across 4 hours since the game is long. The halftime show usually delivers around 1 am UK time, which is when everyone perks up; have your snack restock ready for that moment. The [US Election Countdown](/us-election-countdown) covers the other major US event UK followers tune into; the [Christmas Countdown](/christmas-countdown) is the headline winter countdown if you are stacking party planning across the season.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time is Super Bowl 2027 in the UK?
Super Bowl LXI on Sunday 7 February 2027 has kickoff at 6:30 pm Eastern, which is 11:30 pm UK time. The game runs around 3.5 hours including the halftime show, so expect it to finish near 3 am UK Monday morning. Set your recording device if you cannot stay up; many UK viewers watch the recording over Monday evening to avoid spoilers on social media.
Where can I watch the Super Bowl in the UK?
ITV1 typically airs free-to-air coverage from late Sunday evening; Sky Sports holds the premium rights and runs the build-up shows. NFL Game Pass and DAZN both offer streaming, and the official NFL app provides condensed game replays. Pubs in larger UK cities (especially central London, Manchester and Edinburgh) often run dedicated late-night Super Bowl screenings.
Is the Super Bowl always on a Sunday?
Yes. Since 1967 every Super Bowl has been on a Sunday in late January or early February. The NFL moved it to the first Sunday in February in 2004 and shifted it to a slightly later first Sunday in 2022 to extend the regular season to 17 games. The countdown automatically targets that first February Sunday; it does not need to be updated.
Why does the countdown reset right after kickoff?
Once the current Super Bowl date passes, the tool calculates days until the following year's first-Sunday-of-February match. This is roughly 364 days at first, dropping each day. The behaviour mirrors the [New Year Countdown](/new-year-countdown) and [Christmas Countdown](/christmas-countdown): one URL, evergreen, no manual switching.
