Super Bowl 2021 Date,time and venue
Super Bowl 2021 is set to kick off at 6:30 pm EST on February 7th, 2021.

Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida is where the Buccaneers play their games, and they'll be the home team in this matchup, courtesy of a rule that dictates that AFC teams be declared the home squad in even-numbered Super Bowls, while odd-numbered Super Bowls are reserved for NFC franchises.
