How to Bet the Super Bowl National Anthem 2026: Will Anthem Go Over or Under Projected Length?
One of the more popular Super Bowl prop bets is the length of the national anthem, and I'm here to explain how to bet the Super Bowl national anthem based on the Super Bowl national anthem odds. Charlie Puth will do the honors ahead of Seahawks vs. Patriots in Super Bowl 60 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Feb. 8 (6:30 p.m. ET, NBC). The Seahawks are a 4.5-point betting favorite ahead of the Big Game.
🏈 How to bet on the Super Bowl 2026 national anthem: Seahawks vs. Patriots
Betting on the Super Bowl national anthem is wagering on whether the total time of the performance will go Over or Under the projected length line set by the best sports betting sites.
The result of wagers on the Super Bowl national anthem will be decided at the conclusion of the performance, and the time will stop when the last word - "brave" - is said by the anthem singer.
For example, if you bet the Over on a prop set at 120 seconds, you'll win your wager if the anthem lasts longer than 120 seconds.
📊 Super Bowl 2026 national anthem odds
Super Bowl national anthem odds have yet to be released, so we're showing last year's odds as an example of what you can expect. The Over/Under is usually set at or around 2 minutes (120 seconds).
| National anthem time (Example) | Odds (Example) |
|---|---|
| Over 120.5 seconds | -142 |
| Under 120.5 seconds | +114 |
Looking at last year's national anthem odds at FanDuel, the Over was favored at -142 odds. That translates to an implied probability of 58.68%, per our odds converter, with a $10 bet netting a potential profit of $7.04.
The Under carried +114 odds, with an implied probability of 46.73% and a winning $10 bet profiting $11.40. As we'll get into later on in the Super Bowl national anthem betting history, the anthem came in just Under the 2-minute total last year.

🔮 Super Bowl 2026 national anthem prediction
It's been a virtual coin flip recently on whether Super Bowl national anthems go Over or Under their projected length, but I'm backing this year's Charlie Puth-sung anthem to go Under based on a YouTube video of him playing the national anthem on a piano.
Though his singing rendition is sure to be longer, him playing the anthem on the piano came in at just a minute long. You have to wager based on something, and I'm predicting Puth to be the third anthem singer in a row to go Under the projected anthem length.
