Super Bowl 59 fans eagerly await one of the game’s most talked-about traditions - the length of the Super Bowl national anthem.
As the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles prepare to battle in Super Bowl 59, fans eagerly anticipate one of the game’s most talked-about traditions - the Super Bowl national anthem. Beyond the performance itself, one of the most exciting prop bets each year revolves around a single question: How long is the national anthem?
How Long Is the National Anthem at Super Bowl 2025?
Each year, sportsbooks and fans alike try to predict how long the anthem will last. The average Super Bowl anthem length hovers around 1:43, though past performances have varied. Billy Joel holds the record for the shortest rendition at 1:30, while Alicia Keys stretched hers to 2:36 at Super Bowl 47.
For Super Bowl LIX, Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem in 2025, bringing his unique style to the pregame spectacle. Bettors and fans will be watching closely to see if his performance goes over or under 1:50—a common benchmark for past anthems.
Betting on the Super Bowl National Anthem
While major U.S. sportsbooks like FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM don’t typically offer direct bets on the national anthem length, creative prop bets have emerged in recent years. Some sportsbooks have provided odds comparing the anthem’s length to in-game events, such as whether it will last longer than the longest drive of the game.
Even without official betting markets, fans can still join in by making friendly over/under wagers on the Super Bowl 2025 national anthem.

The Super Bowl anthem has been a staple since Super Bowl I in 1967, with legendary artists such as Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, and Pinkdelivering iconic performances. Each year, the song sets the stage for the big game, making it one of the most anticipated moments of Super Bowl Sunday.
