Super Bowl National Anthem Odds & Over/Under: Anthem Length for Big Game

The Super Bowl national anthem odds feature a variety of markets, the most popular of which is an Over/Under for how long the singer will take to belt out the "Star Spangled-Banner" prior to The Big Game on Feb. 14, 2027, from Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.

Our best Super Bowl betting sites handle the timing differently. Some start the clock as soon as the first note plays. Others wait until “Oh, say, can you see?” is first sung. It's important to know the market terms before diving in here.

📊 Super Bowl national anthem Over/Under odds

We don't yet know the anthem singer for 2027, so we'll continue to look back on Super Bowl 2026 and Charlie Puth's rendition to provide examples of the betting options available.

That begins with the Over/Under for Puth's national anthem performance, which was set at 117.5 seconds by FanDuel Canada. He finished at about 111 seconds, cashing the Under.

♪ Total length of last Brave note held in national anthem?

This market is settled on the total length of time the singer holds the final Brave note from when they start the word to when it ends. It excludes background vocals.

Here were the odds for Puth in 2026.

💰 Super Bowl national anthem prop bets

Betting on the length of the national anthem isn't the only prop associated with the pregame song. Here are some other anthem markets available, again using Puth's performance ahead of Seahawks vs. Patriots as an example for how the odds were presented.

Will a player or coach cry during the national anthem?

This has become a staple of the Super Bowl novelty props FanDuel Canada offers that are tied to the national anthem. Yes was the heavily favored side of the line before Super Bowl 2026.

📋 First coach to be shown on broadcast during national anthem

Another betting angle tied to the national anthem is which coach will be shown first on the TV broadcast. Mike Vrabel, head coach of the Patriots, was the heavy favorite over Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald ahead of Super Bowl 2026.

While Macdonald's Seahawks were the betting favorite by the Super Bowl odds, the Patriots were the official home team.

🏈 First QB to be shown on broadcast during national anthem

Quarterbacks Sam Darnold (Seahawks) and Drake Maye (Patriots) shared -125 odds as the first QB to be shown on the broadcast during the national anthem ahead of Super Bowl 2026. Darnold had logged more NFL experience, but Maye was a finalist by the NFL MVP odds.

As QB of the favored Seahawks, Darnold was viewed as more likely to win The Big Game honors by the Super Bowl MVP odds.

📖 How to read Super Bowl national anthem odds

Reading Super Bowl national anthem odds is straightforward. Odds are usually presented in a format like +500 or -200. Positive odds (e.g., +500) show how much profit you’d make on a $100 bet.

For example, a $100 bet at +500 odds would win you $500, plus your original $100 stake, totaling $600. Negative odds (e.g., -200) indicate how much you need to bet to win $100. So, a $200 bet at -200 odds would win you $100, plus your $200 stake, totaling $300.
