Well... sort of but we need to be specific if we're going to dig that deeply into it. The FULL TFR is from 1730 local to 2359 local on February 2, 2020
for clarity the TFR itself on only on 2/2/2020 but there are "supplementary" restrictions on preceding days but they are much more localized than the full TFR. They are location specific, date specific, and time specific. It depends on what's happening at that time at the event.

But yes some degree of restrictions start on 1/25/2020 so anyone wanting to fly anywhere near that area should check the official sources prior to launching. Any flights taken in violation of these restrictions could be seen as an "Act of Terrorism" which gives the powers to be a LOT OF POWER!!

UAS operators who do not comply with applicable airspace restrictions are warned that pursuant to 10 U.S.C. section 130(i), and 6 U.S.C. section 124(n), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of Defense (DOD) may take security action that results in the interference, disruption, seizure, damaging, or destruction of unmanned aircraft deemed to pose a credible safety or security threat to protected personnel, facilities, or assets.

Warning The FAA recommends that all aircraft operators check NOTAMs OFTEN for mandatory airspace restrictions prior to operations within this region. Specific instructions and restrictions are available at Federal Aviation Administration - Graphic TFR's once the NOTAM has been issued
