The 2026 Pro Bowl is nearly upon us. Before Super Bowl 60 kicks off, some of the best players from the AFC and NFC will play in a re-imagined Pro Bowl.
Since 2023, the NFL’s annual Pro Bowl has included flag football and a skill challenge, instead of a traditional game with pads. The move was focused on player safety and making the event more fun for players invited to the week’s event.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 Pro Bowl, which will be broadcast live from the Moscone Center in San Francisco
When is the 2026 Pro Bowl?
The 2025 Pro Bowl will have a bit of different feel this year, as it will be spread out over different days than usual.
Instead of having the events finish over the weekend, the Pro Bowl will end with the flag football game on Tuesday evening before the Super Bowl. The event will also be included in the lead-up to the Super Bowl in San Francisco, instead of its own standalone event.
In year’s past, the game had been played on either a Saturday or Sunday. This year, the flag football game will take place on a Tuesday evening.
