How to watch the Turning Point halftime show during Super Bowl Sunday 2026

The “All-American Halftime Show” promoted by Turning Point USA is set to run during the Super Bowl halftime window on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026. For viewers who want to watch it live, the key is timing and setup: the alternative show is designed for a quick switch away from the game feed for roughly 15 minutes, then a switch back before the third quarter begins.

Here’s the simplest, most reliable way to catch it without missing the game.

When it starts in Eastern Time

The alternative halftime show is scheduled to begin around 8:00 p.m. ET on Super Bowl Sunday, aligned with the halftime break. Because halftime doesn’t start at an exact clock time, the start can slide a few minutes earlier or later depending on game flow, reviews, and scoring.

A practical timing plan:

• 6:30 p.m. ET — kickoff

• ~7:55–8:10 p.m. ET — likely halftime window (varies)

• ~8:10–8:25 p.m. ET — likely end of halftime window (varies)

If you want to watch the full alternative show, plan to be ready to switch streams as soon as the second quarter ends.

Where it’s expected to air and stream

The alternative show is being distributed in two main ways:

1) A widely carried faith-and-family cable channel
This is the most stable option for people with traditional cable/satellite or a live-TV streaming bundle that includes that channel. If you already receive it, you can treat the show like any other live TV program—just change channels at halftime.

2) Free live streams through the organizer’s official accounts
Turning Point USA has promoted live streaming through its official social accounts and partner outlets. These streams are intended to be accessible on phones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs with the relevant apps installed.

Because the streaming plan relies on live posts and real-time distribution, the best approach is to locate the live stream page before kickoff, then keep it ready for one-tap switching when halftime begins.

Step-by-step: the easiest “don’t miss it” setup

Most households find the smoothest experience is a two-screen approach: keep the Super Bowl on the main TV and run the alternative show on a phone/tablet/laptop (or a second TV) during halftime.

Here’s a quick checklist:

• Turn on the Super Bowl on your main screen by 6:00 p.m. ET to confirm audio/video stability.

• On a second device, open Turning Point USA’s official profile(s) where live video is typically hosted.

• Look for a pinned post, scheduled live event, or a “live” placeholder labeled with the show name.

• Turn device volume down but keep it ready.

• When the second quarter ends, switch your second device to full volume and watch the performance.

• Switch back to the game before the third quarter begins.

If you only have one screen, your best bet is to watch the Super Bowl through a method that makes channel/app switching fast (for example, a TV remote with “last channel” or an app with a “recently watched” row).

What you’ll see: lineup and format

The alternative show is promoted as a music-focused performance block aimed at viewers who want a “patriotic” counter-programming option to the official halftime production. The advertised performer lineup includes Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert, and Gabby Barrett.

No official public set list has been confirmed in a way that’s consistent across listings, so go in expecting a tight medley-style broadcast rather than full-length concert performances.

Tips if you’re streaming and it won’t load

Live streams during halftime can spike in traffic, so a little prep helps.

Troubleshooting moves that usually work:

• Close and reopen the app once (don’t refresh repeatedly for minutes on end).

• Drop video quality to a lower setting if available.

• Switch from Wi-Fi to cellular data (or vice versa) briefly to force a reconnection.

• If one stream source buffers, check the organizer’s other official account feeds—sometimes multiple live mirrors run at once.

If you’re relying on a live-TV streaming bundle, confirm the faith-and-family channel is included in your plan before the game starts, since channel availability can vary by region and package tier.

The most important thing to remember

Halftime is short and unpredictable. The best way to watch the Turning Point halftime show live is to prepare the stream or channel in advance and treat halftime as a timed switch, not a search-and-find moment.
