The NFL’s all-star game, the Pro Bowl has evolved from a single, traditional (albeit with the intensity turned down a bit) football game to a multi-day skills competition and flag football game. However, it still serves as a way to recognize many of the league’s best players for their great seasons.
With festivities starting on Thursday, January 30, and then concluding on Sunday, February 2, let’s get you ready and filled in on all the details for watching the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games, be it online or on TV.
How to watch 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games
ABC/ESPN and its family of networks and platforms are the homes of the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games.
The Skills Show on Thursday, January 30, at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT will air exclusively on ESPN. Coverage on Sunday, February 2, begins at 3 pm ET/noon PT and will be featured on ABC, ESPN, Disney XD, ESPN Plus and ESPN Deportes.
ABC is a national broadcast station, meaning that it is available through a traditional pay-TV provider, a TV antenna or live TV streaming services (ie Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV in select markets and YouTube TV). ESPN, Disney XD and ESPN Deportes, meanwhile, are cable channels, but the good news is that they are also available through traditional pay-TV providers and live TV streaming services.
ESPN Plus is a streaming service that you can sign up for as a standalone service, as part of Hulu with Live TV or bundled with Disney Plus and Hulu in what is called the Disney Bundle.
NFL Plus, the league’s own streaming service, will also offer live streams of the game, but only on mobile devices.
