If you have either of two following questions in your mind, what time is the Superbowl 2009, or when does the super bowl start, this entry is intended to you. Today February 1, 2009 Is Superbowl 2009 Day. Sunday's Super Bowl 2009 kickoff time (some may prefer to call Superbowl 2009 start time) will be 6:18pm Eastern Time. This year's superbowl channel is NBC which will live broadcast from at Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida. Please do tune in the right channel and at the right time to cheer for your favorite team. I bet Pittsburgh Steelers to beat Arizona Cardinals.
