Everything You Need to Know About the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl
Alright, football fans, if you're craving some gridiron action before Super Bowl 59, you're in luck—the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl is here! This weekend, the league’s best talents (well, minus the Super Bowl-bound Eagles and Chiefs players) will gather in Orlando, Florida, for an action-packed showcase of skill, speed, and fun.
When and Where?
Mark your calendars! The Pro Bowl takes place on Sunday, February 2, from 3 to 6 p.m. ET at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida . You can catch the game on ESPN, ABC, Disney XD, and ESPN Deportes , or stream it on ESPN+, NFL+, and FuboTV .
A New Look for the Pro Bowl
If you haven’t tuned in since the old full-contact days, you’re in for something different. The NFL scrapped the traditional tackle game back in 2023, replacing it with a 7-on-7 flag football format . But don’t worry—it’s still competitive, and the weekend kicks off with two days of exciting skills challenges leading up to the main event.
Festivities start on Thursday, January 30 , with ESPN broadcasting the first round of skills competitions. Then, Sunday afternoon will feature even more challenges before the flag football showdown between the AFC and NFC.
Who’s In?
This year, the Baltimore Ravens lead all teams with nine Pro Bowl selections , including four starters. Other teams sending multiple stars include the Detroit Lions (7), Minnesota Vikings (6), Philadelphia Eagles (6), Kansas City Chiefs (5), and Dallas Cowboys (5) . But since the Eagles and Chiefs are prepping for the Super Bowl, their Pro Bowlers won’t be participating.
