Ideally the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be the reason fans tune into the Super Bowl, but not having the team there is an excuse to kick back and enjoy the game stress free.
If anything, it's a chance to remember what happened the last time the Kansas City Chiefs played in a Super Bowl that was broadcast on CBS -- the Bucs spanked them on national television. It was a glorious and unexpected moment for fans in Tampa Bay and the memories are worth revisiting today more than any other day.
As far as the game itself, the closest Bucs fans can come to actually caring about the outcome of the game is whether former players end up on the winning side. It could be argued that John Lynch is the biggest rooting interest Bucs fans have in the game, as he's going for his second Super Bowl ring and the cherry on top of an already Hall of Fame career.
There's also the Super Bowl halftime show as well, which is usually always a reason to tune in to see what might happen.
What time does the Super Bowl 58 halftime show start?
This year Usher is performing the Super Bowl halftime show, and he's expected to bring out a handful of guests to make it a memorable night. Justin Bieber is rumored to be part of the show, and it's highly likely that we see a reunion with Lil' Jon and Ludacris to peform the nostalgic hit 'Yeah', although none of the guests have been confirmed.
As we've seen with the arrival of Swifites to the NFL world, not everyone is tuning in soley for the game itself. This has long been the case with the Super Bowl as the halftime show is a pop culture event that draws in millions of fans all on its own.
The tricky part is tuning in at the right time.
Here's everything to know to catch the Super Bowl 58 halftime show:
- Start Time: 8 pm ET (Approx.)
- TV Channel: CBS
- Live Stream: Paramount+ | Fubo
The start time for the Super Bowl 58 halftime show is approximate, as it all depends on what happens in the first half of the game. Typically in years past the halftime show has started around 8 pm ET, although that's not a set-in-stone time.
It's a safe bet to be close to your television around then, though, if catching Usher and the Super Bowl halftime show is among the reasons you'll be tuning in.
