While football fans will have to wait a week to see the Super Bowl, everyone is excited to watch the Pro Bowl Games. The NFL switched up their Pro Bowl format last year, and it was a huge hit. Therefore, the Pro Bowl Games are back in 2024.

Now, we will explain everything you need to know about the action-packed weekend full of the brightest stars in the NFL.

What events are a part of the Pro Bowl Games?

Last season was the first to see the Pro Bowl rebranded to the Pro Bowl Games. For years, the Pro Bowl lacked interest from fans. Many star players would opt out of the game, and the selection process was questionable because of this. Additionally, players didn't want to risk injury, so the quality of the game was very low as players gave minimal effort.

To fix this problem, the NFL went with a whole new format starting last season. Instead of a tackle football game, the game is now flag football. There are also a number of skills competitions, including Precision Passing, Best Catch, Closest to the Pin, High Stakes, Dodgeball, Kick Tac Toe, Snap Shots, Madden NFL Head-to-Head, Gridiron Gauntlet, Tug-of-War, and Move the Chains. More information on the Pro Bowl Games format can be found here.

The changes sparked new interest as the Pro Bowl Games provided more entertainment and a less serious tone. It made it more fun and less risky for the players as well, which ultimately has led to the players creating a better product.

When and where are the Pro Bowl Games?

The Pro Bowl Games will take place over two days. On Thursday, Feb. 1, there will be the Thursday Skills Showdown. The events will last from 7 p.m. ET to 8:30 p.m. ET. On Sunday, Feb. 4, there will be the Sunday Pro Bowl Games Championship. A few more skills competitions will take place during this day, which also has the flag football game. It will be from 3 p.m. ET to 6 p.m. ET. The Pro Bowl Games are at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
