Standard Time on Super Bowl Sunday
The Super Bowl is played before daylight saving time starts, which in 2027 is on Sunday, March 14. That means every zone is on standard time on game day: EST, CST, MST and PST. It also means Arizona, which never changes its clocks, matches the rest of Mountain Time, and Hawaii is exactly two hours behind Pacific Time.
States in Two Time Zones
Thirteen states are split between two zones, so the kickoff time can change within the same state. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, Oregon and Nevada each have a split. Every zone page lists exactly which areas fall on each side.
