LIVE: Follow SN’s updates from the Super Bowl 56 halftime show
The 2022 Super Bowl will be no different, as its halftime show contains one of the league’s most star-studded lineups in years. That’s no surprise considering that the game is being played near Los Angeles, one of the entertainment capitals of the world.
Five performers will combine to make the Super Bowl 56 halftime show quite the experience. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar will all take the stage during the show, which will last less than 15 minutes.
Fans can expect to see the performers at approximately 8 p.m. ET. That time is an estimate and will depend on when the first half comes to an end and how long it takes to set up the stage for the five artists.
Here’s what you need to know about the Super Bowl 2022 halftime show, including when it starts and who exactly will take the stage in Los Angeles.

Do performers get paid for the Super Bowl halftime show?
No, performers don’t get paid for the Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL covers the cost of the performance, but the performers aren’t paid. Instead, it serves as an opportunity to be in the spotlight and to land other lucrative endorsement deals and national attention.
Who is singing the national anthem at Super Bowl 56?
The NFL announced on Feb. 1 that Mickey Guyton would sing the national anthem at Super Bowl 56.
Guyton, 38, is a country music artist best known for her songs “Better Than You Left Me” and “Black Like Me.” The latter song speaks to her experiences as a Black woman in country music and was released after George Floyd’s murder and the Black Lives Matter protests that came in its wake.
Guyton has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards but hasn’t yet won one. That includes the three nominations that she is up for in 2022, which stem from her album “Remember Her Name.”
