Hide AdIt will be the latest in a string of annual shows that receive global attention, often providing talking points and meme fodder (remember Katy Perry’s dancing shark?).
Here's everything you need to know about the show, including what famous faces might be joining her on stage.
What time will the half-time show be on at in the UK?
The Super Bowl game kicks off at 6.30pm local time, which means that the action will start at 11.30pm UK time.
A game of American Football is split into four quarters of 15 minutes, but a typical game takes between 2-3 hours to complete, so expect the half-time show to take place at some point between 12.30am and 1am.
