UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2014
The Pre-Game will start @ 5:30PM Local time in London with Def Leppard playing shortly there after... [Channel 4]
Game coverage in the US:
CBS will carry the game beginning at 1PM ET. But.... as you can see, there are 3 other games being carried by CBS beginning at 1PM ET. So.... the Miami/Oakland game may not be shown by your local CBS affiliate.

A quick check of my TV listings shows that the Dallas CBS affiliate is NOT showing the Miami/Oakland game. We're getting the Houston/Buffalo game instead so I have zero chance of seeing Def Leppard.
For those who can see the Miami/Oakland game on CBS, I would recommend tuning in (or recording) beginning at noon ET for "The NFL Today" as it's possible that Def Leppard's performance will actually occur prior to the 1PM ET start time listed for the game. [Cindy]

"We perform about 15 minutes before kick off. When it's Superbowl they keep it special for the half time and we totally get that but we're gonna kind of open the show up if you like which should be fun you know they'll be 90,000...it sold out in like three minutes and it's in London. This is not in San Francisco... this is crazy for it to sell out that quickly. So the fact that's it's gonna be on TV and all that kind of stuff. It's a big deal so we're really looking forward to doing that."

"Rock legends Def Leppard will perform the pre-game show at the first of this year’s three NFL International Series games on Sunday September 28, when the Oakland Raiders host the Miami Dolphins.
Def Leppard, who have sold 100 million albums worldwide in a career spanning three decades, will showcase some of their biggest hits before kickoff of the NFL’s ninth regular-season game to be played in London since the International Series began in 2007.
The band’s lead singer, Joe Elliott, said: “Having most recently visited Wembley in May to watch Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final, I know what the atmosphere in the ground is like for ‘our’ football so I’m really looking forward to performing there before the NFL game and of course soaking up the excitement of the actual match. I can’t wait!”
“Having Def Leppard perform at Wembley is going to be very exciting and a lot of fun,” said Alistair Kirkwood, Managing Director of NFLUK. “We know their performance will get Wembley pumping, have the fans on their feet and set the tone for a great game.”
Formed in Sheffield, Def Leppard have been hailed as the UK's greatest-ever arena rock band. The five-piece – Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick "Sav" Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar) and Rick Allen (drums) – have produced a series of classic ground-breaking albums and two prestigious Diamond Awards in the USA, for two separate 10 million-selling albums. The group’s spectacular live shows and arsenal of hits have made them an institution in the music and touring industry.
Previous pre-game artists in the International Series have been: The Feeling (2007), Stereophonics (2008), Calvin Harris (2009), Goo-Goo Dolls (2010), My Chemical Romance (2011), Train (2012), Tinie Tempah (2013), NE-YO (2013).
The US national anthem, ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ will be sung before the Dolphins-Raiders game by Isaac Slade, lead singer of The Fray. Four-time Grammy Award nominees, The Fray had their first UK top five single with “How To Save a Life” and have seen two of their four albums reach platinum status in the United States.
The UK national anthem will be sung by best-selling soprano Laura Wright, who performed ‘God Save The Queen’ at both of last year’s International Series games.
A limited number of tickets returned by the participating teams will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Thursday September 4 via www.ticketmaster.co.uk/nfl.
The Raiders-Dolphins game will kick off at 6:00 p.m. UK time (1:00p.m. ET) and will be aired live in the UK on Channel 4 and Sky Sports and in the US on CBS.
