The 2024 Pro Bowl Games are set to showcase a diverse array of sports, including golf, dodgeball, and Kick-Tac-Toe, bringing together some of the NFL’s top players in anticipation of Super Bowl LVIII.
Entering its second year, the NFL’s revamped Pro Bowl format will once again unfold in Orlando, Florida, marking a two-day event commencing on Thursday, Feb. 1, and concluding on Sunday, Feb. 4.
The grand finale of the 2024 Pro Bowl Games will feature a 7-on-7 flag football game between NFC and AFC Pro Bowlers, with points earned in each event contributing to an overall score that determines the winner of the Pro Bowl Games.
For those eager to catch the action, the event will be hosted at Nicholson Fieldhouse and Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. ESPN will serve as the official TV channel, and viewers can also stream the event on fubo (try for free).
The schedule for Thursday includes precision passing, a best catch competition, and a closest to the pin golf challenge, where six players from each conference will showcase their skills by driving golf balls to determine the one who can get their drive closest to the pin.
The 2024 Pro Bowl Games will feature some unconventional and entertaining events for the NFL’s top players. In the “High Stakes” challenge, players will attempt to catch as many punts as possible from a JUGS machine, starting with holding just one ball. The player who can hold the most balls while still catching one from the JUGS machine will be declared the winner.
“Dodgeball presented by Bud Light” will be a multi-round tournament involving four teams of five players each. The AFC offense will face the NFC defense in the first game, while the NFC offense takes on the AFC defense in the second game. The winners of these matchups will then compete to determine the ultimate dodgeball champion.
In “Kick-Tac-Toe,” each team’s kicker will engage in a giant version of the classic game. The objective is to complete a connecting line of three squares or hit five squares in total, with the first kicker to achieve this declared the winner.
Sunday’s events will include “Madden NFL Head-to-Head,” a two-on-two matchup hosted by EA Sports, featuring players from both conferences using the 2024 Pro Bowl Games rosters. The “Gridiron Gauntlet” is a full-field obstacle course relay race, pitting six AFC and NFC players against each other in a test of speed and agility.
Introducing a new event, “Tug-of-War” will see five players from both conferences competing against each other in a battle of strength and teamwork. The “Move the Chains” competition, exclusive to offensive and defensive linemen, requires two five-man teams to move 3,000 pounds of weight off a 2,000 pound wall and be the first to pull that wall across the finish line.
The Pro Bowl Games will conclude with a flag football matchup between the AFC and NFC, adding a touch of fun to this unique and diverse sporting spectacle.
