One of the most exciting parts of the Super Bowl betting experience isn’t just the game—it’s the novelty prop bets, and none are more famous than the national anthem length bet!
With Jon Batiste taking the stage to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl 59, fans and bettors were on the edge of their seats, watching the clock as much as his performance. ⏳
How Long Was the Super Bowl 2025 National Anthem?
Batiste’s rendition of the national anthem lasted exactly 2 minutes from the first note to the last. The betting line was set at 2 minutes and 0.5 seconds, meaning those who bet the under ended up cashing in! 💵✅
🏆 Final Time: 2:00 minutes
📉 Over/Under Line: 2:00.5 minutes
🎲 Winning Bet: Under (+115 odds)
Longest & Shortest Super Bowl National Anthems
🎶 Longest: Alicia Keys holds the record for the longest Super Bowl national anthem, clocking in at 2 minutes and 35 seconds at Super Bowl 47 in 2013.
⏱️ Shortest: Neil Diamond rushed through the anthem in just 1 minute and 2 seconds at Super Bowl 21 in 1987, setting the record for the quickest performance.
Super Bowl National Anthem Trends
While many assume that anthem singers tend to go long, history proves otherwise. Over the last 10 Super Bowls, the over has hit just six times, making this bet far from a sure thing.
With Batiste’s measured performance keeping things tight, this year’s Super Bowl prop bets proved once again why every second counts!
