The Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer: What Exact TIME Will It Release During NFL Playoffs?

By Richard Nebens Updated: January 17, 2023

A new TV spot revealed when Star Wars fans will get their next look at Season 3 of Lucasfilm's The Mandalorian.

Season 3 of The Mandalorian is only weeks away, with two full trailers having been released at the 2022 D23 Fan Expo and at the CCXP convention in Brazil. This will be the first time back in Din Djarin’s solo story since Season 2 ended in December 2020, although he’ll pick up where he left off after an appearance in Season 1 of The Book of Boba Fett in early 2022.

The marketing campaign for Season 3 is about to kick into high gear with it being Lucasfilm’s next release, as the next trailer is confirmed to arrive alongside the next Monday night NFL playoff game.

Now, with that new trailer only a short time away, Disney has taken the opportunity to promote its debut.

New Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer Time

Last week, ABC and ESPN confirmed that The Mandalorian Season 3's next trailer will debut during halftime of the NFL Super Wild Card Game. The game, which pits the Dallas Cowboys vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will begin at 8:15pm ET.

So what exact time will Mando's Season 3 trailer premiere (Update)? With how fast-paced the game has been going so far, fans can expect the first half to end at approximately 9:30 pm ET. Fans should therefore expect the trailer to debut around 9:45 pm ET.

Update: The trailer debuted online at 9:43 pm ET:

Mando Ready for New Season 3 Battles

This short TV spot reminded fans about some of what's coming in Season 3, highlighting some of Din Djarin's airborne battles while teasing the franchise's first return to Coruscant since 2021's Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Thankfully, that'll change with the NFL's final game of Wild Card week as Disney and Lucasfilm provide another look at The Mandalorian, which should be the final big trailer before the show returns to Disney+.

The new look should give more details on how the story will play out as Din Djarin and crew return to Mandalore for judgment, especially with Bo-Katan Kryze now set to play a more villainous role in Season 3. The doors will also be open to new fan theories about what will actually go down in the next eight episodes, all as the Mandoverse adds a new chapter with its flagship show.

The Mandalorian Season 3 will debut on Disney+ on Wednesday, March 1.
