Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to time-based visualizations for network virtualization platforms (“NVPs”). A computer system can obtain data associated with an NVP. The data can include present state data associated with a present state of the NVP, past state data associated with a past state of the NVP, and future state data associated with a predicted future state of the NVP. The computer system can generate a visualization of the data associated with the NVP. The computer system can present a temporal management function that includes a plurality of selections representative of the present state, the past state, and the predicted future state. The computer system can receive a selection, from the plurality of selections, of the present state, the past state, or the predicted future state. The computer system can manipulate the visualization in accordance with the selection and output the visualization.
