The 2024 Pro Bowl Games is the upcoming National Football League all-star game for the 2023 NFL season. This will be the second year that the event consists of skills competitions and non-contact flag football games, rather than an actual tackle football game.[1] The first block of skills competitions is scheduled to take place on February 1, 2024, around various venues in Central Florida, while the flag football games and the other events are scheduled for February 4 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. Fan voting began on November 27, 2023, and ended on December 25.[2] The rosters were then announced on January 3, 2024.[3][4]
Background
The NFL announced on July 25, 2023, that Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida will be the site for the game after spending the last two years at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.[1] Prior to Allegiant Stadium's two years, Camping World Stadium hosted the Pro Bowl from 2017 to 2020.[5]
Format
The event will consist of various skill competition events and three 7-on-7 flag football games, with the first block of events being held on February 1, 2024. On February 4, the remainder of the event program is scheduled to take place at Camping World Stadium.[2]
On December 20, 2023, the league announced the skills competitions for both days, with a tug of war added to the program. The Closest to the Pin golf accuracy competition replaces the Longest Drive. The High Stakes event replaces the Lightning Round, reducing the previous year's three-part challenge to just the competition where players attempt to catch punts. In addition, the Madden NFL Head-to-Head event, in which two players from each conference play the Madden NFL video game using the Pro Bowl rosters, will now count as part of the skill competitions instead of just being an exhibition event for the past few years.[6][7][8]
Rosters
The fan voting ran between November 27 and December 25, 2023.[2] The final rosters were then announced on January 3, 2024.[3][4]
