Super Bowl XLIX: TV coverage, kickoff time for Patriots-Seahawks image

Super Bowl XLIX between the Seahawks and Patriots kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday on NBC, but the network's coverage begins long before players take the field.

NBC's pregame show with its "Football Night in America" crew begins at 1 p.m. ET. The usual crew of Dan Patrick, Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison will be joined at some point by Hines Ward, Josh Elliott, Mike Florio, Peter King, Doug Flutie, Randy Moss, Liam McHugh and Carolyn Manno.
