What time does the Super Bowl halftime show start? When to expect the artists of 2022 on stage
The main focus of the Super Bowl is still the on-court game, but many people tune in just for the halftime show, which features one of the biggest concerts of the year.
Super Bowl 2022 will be no different, as its halftime show features one of the league’s most star-studded rosters in years. This is not surprising given that the game is played near Los Angeles, one of the entertainment capitals of the world.
Five artists will combine to make the Super Bowl 56 halftime show an unforgettable experience. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar will all take the stage during the show, which will last less than 15 minutes.
Fans can expect to see them pick up the artists around 8 p.m. ET. This time is an estimate and will depend on when the first half ends and how long it takes to set up the stage for the five performers.
Here’s what you need to know about the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show, including when it starts and who exactly will take the stage in Los Angeles.

Are performers paid for the Super Bowl halftime show?
No, performers are not paid for the Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL covers the cost of the performance, but the performers don’t get paid. Instead, it serves as an opportunity to be in the spotlight and land other lucrative endorsement deals and national attention.
Who sings the national anthem at Super Bowl 56?
The NFL announced on February 1 that Mickey Guyton would sing the national anthem at Super Bowl 56.
Guyton, 38, is a country music artist best known for her songs “Better Than You Left Me” and “Black Like Me.” This latest song is about her experiences as a black woman in country music and was released after the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests.
Guyton has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards but has yet to win one. That includes the three nominations she’s up for in 2022, which stem from her ‘Remember Her Name’ album.
