A few weeks before the Pro Bowl, the rosters for the AFC and NFC were announced this Thursday, January 2.
The 2025 NFL Pro Bowl returns to Orlando for a second consecutive year.
Selection of players for Pro Bowl rosters is based on the combined votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group accounting for one-third of the votes. This voting system, specific to the NFL, distinguishes the league from other sports. For 2025, 88 league stars, from 28 teams, have been selected. The Baltimore Ravens dominate with nine players chosen, followed by the Detroit Lions (seven), Minnesota Vikings (six) and other teams.
The Pro Bowl begins with Pro Bowl Skills Show on Thursday, January 30, broadcast live on ESPN. The highlight of the week will be Sunday, February 2, when the AFC and NFC face off in a flag football game coached by legends Peyton and Eli Manning.
