SAN FRANCISCO – The Pro Bowl is coming, or at least its rebranded version of a flag-football game plus other player-friendly events.
In conjunction with Super Bowl week next February, the NFL will deploy this season’s version of the Pro Bowl Games to Moscone Center on Feb. 3.
Specifically, an AFC vs. NFC flag football game will take place on a 50-yard field on the Tuesday before Super Bowl LX.
Festivities will be broadcast on ESPN, Disney XD and ESPN Deportes, starting with the Pro Bowl Games at 3:30 p.m. PT, followed by the flag football game at 5 p.m.
The flag football game will lean into the sport’s debut in 2028 at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. NFL clubs recently granted players permission to compete in those Olympics.
