What time is the Super Bowl on Sunday? What Alabama fans need to know

Super Bowl 60 isn’t just a championship game; it’s a full-day event built around history, star power and a familiar matchup with unfinished business.

The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will meet again on the NFL’s biggest stage Sunday, Feb. 8, nearly 12 years after their unforgettable Super Bowl 49 showdown ended with Malcolm Butler’s goal-line interception sealing a 28-24 Patriots win.

From an all-day program slate to a halftime show headlined by global superstar Bad Bunny, here’s everything NFL fans in Alabama need to know about the Super Bowl 60 schedule.
