The Super Bowl is finally here. Right on cue, the Super Bowl live stream will begin, bringing the big game to homes around the world. And once we know when the game will start, we will be better prepared to start the game.

Then you can get back to securing a meal for the Big Game or trying to get your friends on the same Zoom call. That said, there is good reason to believe that the kickoff will not take place at the announced time.

Super Bowl 2021 was scheduled to begin today (Sunday, February 7) at 6:30 PM ET. I arrived at 6:31 PM and the coin toss (and the reading by youth poet Amanda Gorman) was still going on.

As was expected here, we knew the match would not start exactly at 6:30, and we were told that "pre-match events may run past 6:30p.m., so please check ...... I suggested that if there is a prop bet that the match will start directly at 6:30p.m., choose the over."

One thing you don't have to worry about this year is finding a 4K stream of Super Bowl 2021. That means the best you can find is a good solid and reliable Full HD stream of the big game. To that end, we recommend the best TV antennas.

Super Bowl 55 is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT/ 11:30 PM PT. Once again, our friends on the West Coast are having a super-convenient time for the big game, while folks across the pond will be staying up late.

The game is scheduled to end by 10 p.m. ET, when the new series "The Equalizer" will air. Of course, it could be a long shot and push back that series. Expectations for "The Equalizer" are high, and airing the series in this high-profile post-Super Bowl spot is sure to draw a lot of attention.

Super Bowl LV airs on CBS. It can be seen on CBS Sports.com for free, and it is also part of Fubo TV and CBS All Access for those looking for a comprehensive streaming platform.

It has hours of support content in advance.

The TV Guide shows that the CBS pre-program "The Super Bowl Today" runs from 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM ET. It is packed with musical performances, starting with Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan performing the national anthem. Performing artist H.E.R. (Gabriela Sarmiento Wilson) will then perform "America the Beautiful". Super Bowl Today will also include a coin toss and team introduction ceremony.

Prior to that, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET, CBS will air the special "Tony Goes to the Super Bowl," hosted by Tony Romo. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback (who calls the big game as an analyst) will spend the hour talking with previous Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks, including Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes.

CBS is also available on Fubo TV and CBS All Access
