The NFL Pro Bowl Games will end with three skill events and a 7-on-7 flag football game on Sunday, Feb. 4. Coverage from Orlando, Fla., begins at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC, and Disney XD.
The Pro Bowl Games started on Thursday with the first six events, with the NFC winning four of the events to take a 12-6 lead. The Sunday skill events and the flag football game will determine the winning conference.
Who Is Announcing the Game?
Scott Van Pelt, who hosts the midnight edition of SportsCenter, became the host of Monday Night Countdown this season. He will be added as the play-by-play announcer for the Pro Bowl flag football game.
Van Pelt joined ESPN in 2001 as the network’s lead professional golf reporter after seven years at The Golf Channel. He shortly became a host on SportsCenter and an ESPN Radio show with Mike Tirico. Van Pelt is the main host for ESPN’s golf coverage of the Masters and the PGA Championships.
Dan Orlovsky, who joined ESPN in 2018 and contributes daily to ESPN’s NFL Live, will be joining Van Pelt in the booth. Orlovsky has been a game analyst for NFL games on ESPN and the NFL Network this season.
