When is Super Bowl 2022?

Most importantly, you need to know when the game starts. Super Bowl LVI is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT kickoff on Sunday, February 13, 2022, from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. NBC will broadcast the game on TV while NFL GamePass, Sirius XM, and Westwood One have the radio coverage.

In addition to the live broadcast on NBC, the Super Bowl will air on many streaming platforms that offer web browser or mobile app access, including Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, Peacock, Sling TV, FuboTV, the NFL app, the Yahoo! Sports app, and the NBC Sports app (iOS and Android).

For some, Super Bowl 2023 is the second-biggest game around on February 12. That's because Animal Planet is back again with its annual Puppy Bowl (it’s Puppy Bowl XIX, if you’ve been keeping track, or the 19th iteration if you refuse to do Roman Numerals). Basically, it’s the Super Bowl for dogs.

This year’s event features 122 puppies, benefiting some 67 shelters and rescues from 34 states. It’s all in good fun — dogs aren’t doing anything untoward, though occasionally a penalty flag is thrown for accidentally leaving it all out on the field. There’s plenty of wrestling and tugging of toys, and lots of water breaks. And you’ll also learn the stories of the pups themselves, as well as the organizations that enable their adoption.
