Super Bowl 51 takes place Feb. 5, 2017, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

While the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons square off for the NFL championship, the Super Bowl halftime show is also hotly anticipated. Lady Gaga headlines this year's show.

The game will be broadcast by Fox, with live streaming available via Fox Sports Go.

The Super Bowl kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Central (6:30 p.m. Eastern), which means the halftime show will begin at approximately 7 p.m. Central (8 p.m. Eastern).
