Before the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles decide this season’s Super Bowl, the rest of the NFL’s best will be on display at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
This season’s event features a Pro Bowl Skills Show and a 7-on-7 flag football game between NFL stars, who were picked by a combination of fan vote, player vote and coaches vote.
Here’s what to know about the annual showcase of the NFL’s top stars.
For years, the Pro Bowl was a standard football game between all-stars from the AFC against their counterparts from the NFC.
It has since become multiple events with players not wearing helmets and pads. The event has instead pitted AFC Pro Bowlers against their NFC counterparts in a flag football game and skills challenges.
This year’s Pro Bowl Skills Show on Thursday, Jan. 30, will feature five different competitions: Dodgeball, Relay Race, Helmet Harmony, Satisfying Catches and Passing the Test.
The event on Sunday, Feb. 2, will feature a 7-on-7 flag football game between the AFC and NFC as well as three more skills challenges: Punt Perfect, The Great Football Race and Tug-of-War.
The NFC beat the AFC 64-59 in last year’s Pro Bowl Games.
The Pro Bowl Skills Show is at 7 p.m. ET on Jan. 30 on ESPN, and the flag football game airs at 3 p.m. ET on Feb. 2 on ESPN and ABC. Both days will also stream on NFL+.
Sunday’s events, which are open to the public, are being held at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, which also annually hosts multiple college football bowl games.
They are not at the same site as the Super Bowl, which is being held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9.
Former New York Giants great Eli Manning will coach the NFC, while his older brother, Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, will coach the AFC.
The rosters for the games are often in flux with players dropping out and others replacing them, but the NFL announced the finalized versions for the NFC and AFC on Jan. 29.
This year’s rosters include 88 total players, 25 of whom were not named to the initial roster and have stepped in as replacements, according to the NFL. Eleven of the replacement players are participating in place of the 11 combined players from the Chiefs and Eagles who can’t play because they are gearing up for the Super Bowl.
Thirty players will be participating in their first Pro Bowl Games, including five rookies: Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers, New England quarterback Drake Maye, Jacksonville wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., New York Giants receiver Malik Nabers and Los Angeles Rams linebacker Jared Verse.
The quarterbacks for the AFC are Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow, Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson. However, Jackson and Allen are not participating, so they are being replaced by Maye and Pittsburgh’s Russell Wilson.
The NFC quarterbacks are Minnesota’s Sam Darnold, Detroit’s Jared Goff and Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield, the last of whom is replacing Washington rookie star Jayden Daniels.
Wilson and Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner are tied for the most career selections to the Pro Bowl from this year’s group with 10.
Other big names include Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, Cincinnati wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and defensive end Trey Hendrickson, Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett, Dallas defensive end Micah Parsons, San Francisco defensive end Nick Bosa and Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans.
