Some of the NFL’s best players (who are not playing in Super Bowl LX) will still get a chance to play ball in San Francisco this week. That’s because the 2026 Pro Bowl Games<\/a> will take place on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco as part of the festivities leading up to the Super Bowl. (You read that correctly \u2014 unlike in years past when the Pro Bowl was held the Sunday before the Super Bowl, the 2026 game is on a Tuesday.) Both the AFC and NFC are sending in a squad whose players were voted on by fans, fellow players, and coaches, to participate in this year’s event which now includes a skills competition and a 7-on-7 flag football game.<\/p>\n

Here’s what you need to know about how to watch the 2026 Pro Bowl when it airs on Feb. 3 including who’s playing, where you can watch, and more.<\/p>\n

2026 Pro Bowl teams and coaches:<\/p>\n

The 2026 Pro Bowl consists of a skills challenge followed by a 7-on-7 flag football game between an AFC and an NFC team, with athletes chosen by a three-part voting process. Fan votes account for one-third of the total Pro Bowl vote; one-third comes from NFL players; and head coaches also submit a ballot, accounting for the final one-third of the tally. Any players on the Pro Bowl roster who ended up on one of this year’s Super Bowl teams will not participate. Some players have opted not to participate due to injury or other reasons; you’ll see who was selected and who their replacements are on the rosters below.<\/p>\n
