The showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 is almost here, but before they compete for the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in three years, the NFL Pro Bowl (and its ancillary events) are set to take center stage.
Yet again, the Pro Bowl Games have been reimagined as the league tries to drum up interest in its version of an All-Star break. This is everything fans can expect to see in Orlando from Jan. 30 through Feb. 2.
NFL Pro Bowl Games Events
Thursday Skills Showdown
To kick off the annual event, the league will host the newly rebooted “Thursday Skills Showdown.”
These events will include:
- Passing the Test
- Satisfying Catches
- The Big Spike
- Relay Race
- Helmet Harmony and Dodgeball
This appetizer for Pro Bowl Sunday will take place on Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025, from 7 p.m.-8:30 p.m. EST. It can be viewed live on ESPN and streamed on NFL+. Fans cannot attend this event in person, as it is closed to the public.
Sunday Pro Bowl Games Championship
Following the festivities on Opening Night, the main event will be the “Sunday Pro Bowl Games Championship.”
There will be a few skills competitions on this day as well, including:
- EA Sports Madden NFL 25 Challenge
- Punt Perfect
- The Great Football Race
- Tug-of-War
Finally, the pièce de résistance will conclude Pro Bowl Weekend with a game of flag football between the all-stars from the AFC and NFC. For the third straight year, Peyton Manning will serve as the head coach for the AFC’s best, while his brother, Eli Manning, will take charge of the NFC’s elite.
Last year, Eli’s NFC squad posted a 64-59 win over Peyton’s AFC team in the highest-scoring Pro Bowl of all time.
All of Sunday’s festivities can be enjoyed on Feb. 2, 2025, from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. EST. Fans can watch live on ESPN, ABC, Disney XD, ESPN+, or ESPN Deportes or stream the event on NFL+. Tickets are available for those looking to attend Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., in person.
