The 2024 Pro Bowl Games will feature a flag football game at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Sunday afternoon. Before that, the Pro Bowl fun will kick off with skills competitions on Thursday evening.
The skills competitions will take place at the Nicholson Fieldhouse (UCF) on Thursday, Feb. 1 beginning at 5 p.m. MT. The competitions will be televised on ESPN and available to stream on fuboTV (try it free).
Peyton Manning (AFC) and Eli Manning (NFC) have returned to serve as the head coaches of their respective conferences. Here is the full list of competitions set for Thursday, courtesy of the NFL:
- Precision Passing: Each of the conference’s three quarterbacks will battle it out in a one-minute accuracy competition, as they attempt to accumulate points by hitting as many targets as possible. The conference with the highest cumulative score among all participants earns three points. There are a total of 10 targets that are either static or attached to robotic dummies and drones, each worth a different amount, ranging from one to five points.
- Best Catch: Pre-taped in landmarks around Orlando, Best Catch will feature one player from each conference, as they show off their creativity, inventiveness and talent. Fans will vote online to determine their favorite catch, and the player with the highest number of votes will earn three points for his conference.
- Closest to the Pin: This golf accuracy competition will feature six players from each conference. They will drive the golf ball, working to hit it as close to the hole as possible. The winner will earn three points for his conference.
- High Stakes: Starting off with a football in hand, each player will attempt to catch punts from a JUGS machine. Each player that succeeds in catching the football without dropping others will advance to the next round and attempt to catch an additional football. The most sure-handed player who catches the most footballs wins.
- Dodgeball: A multi-round tournament of classic dodgeball featuring four teams of five players. In the first match, the AFC offense will face the NFC defense, and in the second game, the NFC offense squares off with the AFC defense. The winner will earn three points for their conference.
- Kick-Tac-Toe: Each team’s kicker will compete in a giant Tic-Tac Toe competition to showcase their skills. The first kicker to complete a connecting line of three squares or hit five squares total will be declared the winner and earn three points for his conference.
Broncos safety Justin Simmons and receiver Marvin Mims will participate in the “High Stakes” challenge and Denver cornerback Pat Surtain is on the AFC’s dodgeball team.
Following Thursday’s competitions, a few more challenges will be held on Sunday ahead of the flag football game at 1:00 p.m. MT. Sunday’s events will also be televised on ESPN and simulcast ABC and Disney XD. Football fans can stream Sunday’s game on ESPN+, NFL+ and fuboTV (try it free).
