When is Super Bowl 2022?
Date: Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022. Kickoff time: 6:30 p.m. (unofficial) TV channel: NBC. Live stream: NBC Sports App | fuboTV | DAZN (in Canada)
On Sunday, February 13, 2022, the Super Bowl will be held. The Super Bowl will not be played on the first Sunday in February for the first time since 2003. It will be held on the second Sunday in February due to the NFL's increased 17-game, 18-week schedule.
A Super Bowl has never been held so late in its history. Super Bowls 44, 50, and 55 all took place on February 7, breaking the previous record for the most recent Super Bowl. The latest date a Super Bowl can take place under the NFL's new format is Feb. 14.
The Super Bowl will be televised on NBC. The event will most likely be aired by Al Michael, Cris Collinsworth, and the rest of the "Sunday Night Football" crew. The last time NBC broadcasted the Super Bowl was in 2019, when Tom Brady's Patriots defeated Jared Goff's Rams 13-3.
Where is Super Bowl 2022?
City: Inglewood, Calif. Stadium: SoFi Stadium
The Super Bowl will be held in 2022 at SoFi Stadium, home of the Rams and Chargers. The Super Bowl was supposed to be held in 2021 at the new stadium, which opened in 2020. The NFL, however, decided to transfer the 2021 Super Bowl to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Fla., and the 2022 Super Bowl to Los Angeles due to weather-related construction delays.
The Super Bowl will be the first major event to be held in SoFi Stadium, which will also host the College Football Playoff Championship and WrestleMania 39 in 2023. The Chargers and Rams both started playing there in 2020, albeit due to the COVID-19 outbreak, fans were not able to attend any of their home games.

Super Bowl National Anthem Singer 2022
The national anthem singers for 2022 have yet to be announced. The NFL will likely announce the anthem singers at some point during the NFL playoffs, as it's often one of the last elements of the Super Bowl that the league finalizes. Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan performed the anthem in 2021.
