How to watch the Pro Bowl 2023

LAS VEGAS – The NFL will be holding a Pro Bowl week again, dubbed the Pro Bowl Games. Gone is the traditional game of soccer, replaced by a series of skill contests and three soccer games over the course of Thursdays and Sundays at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. There will be points at stake in each event that will determine the overall winner between the AFC and NFC.

Peyton Manning will coach the AFC team while his brother Eli will coach the AFC team. Roster selections were determined by the unanimous vote of fans, players, and coaches. The votes of each group were counted in thirds to determine the 88 players.

Here’s a look at what to expect.
