Basically, for live events such as this and for marathons, they will "open" or start the player at some time before so they can launch the video promptly on time without users having to refresh the screen at the designated time. It also allows premium users to ensure they'll be viewing it and allow non-premium users to wait until they can get access to the player to encourage more premium purchases.
