Upcoming NFL Pro Bowl dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
The seat question, with no game on the calendar
There is no Pro Bowl game to buy a seat for as of October 2026. The league has put no future all-star event on its calendar, and The Athletic reported on August 26, 2026, that the 2026 Pro Bowl Games closed out the yearly event. According to that report, the NFL will keep naming an 88-man Pro Bowl squad each season under the existing voting format.
That changes what this page is for. Should the league announce a new all-star event of some kind, its listings will attach here. Until then, the useful work is understanding how the last few events were staged, so you can judge a seat quickly if one comes back, and spotting listings that point to a game that does not exist.
How the last events were set up for spectators
The format you sit for decides which seat makes sense, and the Pro Bowl changed format several times in its final years.
Stadium flag football, 2023 to 2025
Starting in 2023, tackle football was replaced by the Pro Bowl Games, which paired weekday skills contests with an AFC-versus-NFC flag game played 7-on-7. In 2025, UCF's Nicholson Fieldhouse handled most of the skills contests while Orlando's Camping World Stadium hosted the flag game, with some skills events played between quarters. A 7-on-7 game uses far fewer bodies than an 11-man game, so a sideline seat with some elevation shows the spacing and routes better than a low seat in an end zone.
A ballroom, 2026
In 2026 the event went indoors at San Francisco's Moscone Center, a ballroom setting of about 4,000 seats, played on Tuesday, February 3, during Super Bowl LX week. In a room that size, distance matters much less than it does in a 55,000-seat stadium, and a seat near the midpoint of the playing area is the safe choice.
Crowd sizes from stadium to ballroom
Attendance tells the story of the event's last years. Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas drew 56,206 in 2022. Orlando's Camping World Stadium followed with 55,709 (2024) and 54,313 (2025). Shifting in 2026 to a room of roughly 4,000 seats was a reduction of more than 90 percent in capacity, and it was the clearest public sign that the league was scaling the event back.
For a buyer, those numbers carried a practical message. In the stadium years, a large building meant plenty of seats and less pressure on any single section. A 4,000-seat room means every seat is close, but the supply is small and tied to Super Bowl week travel.
Where Pro Bowl rosters come from
Selection is the piece the league is reported to be keeping. Three groups vote, and each carries one-third of the weight:
- Fans cast ballots online at NFL.com.
- Players vote on their peers around the league.
- Coaches cast the final third, also voting across the league.
Rosters are split by conference, AFC and NFC. Under the August 2026 report, a full 88-man roster will keep being named each season, so the title "Pro Bowler" stays on a player's résumé even without a game to play in.
Host stadiums by era
- Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum: 1951 through 1972, plus 1979.
- Aloha Stadium, Honolulu: 1980 through 2009, a run of 30 straight years, and again in 2011–2014 and 2016.
- Single seasons elsewhere: Miami's Sun Life Stadium in 2010 and Glendale's University of Phoenix Stadium in 2015.
- Camping World Stadium, Orlando: 2017 through 2020 and 2024–2025, the most frequent recent host.
- Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas: 2022 and 2023, including the first Pro Bowl Games.
- Moscone Center, San Francisco: 2026.
Most fans who remember the game picture Honolulu. The recent pattern was different: the event followed the league's plans for Super Bowl week, and that is why it ended up in the Super Bowl host city in 2026.
Checking a Pro Bowl listing before you pay
A ticket to an event the league has not scheduled has no value, so verify before you spend anything on seats or travel.
- Check the league's own listing on the NFL's Pro Bowl page, which listed only 2026 content as of October 2026.
- Confirm the format. A skills event, a flag game and a tackle game are different products, and the seat that suits one may not suit another.
- Confirm the date and city. The event moved between weekdays and cities often, and in 2026 it ran on a Tuesday.
If a new event is announced and listed here, a 100% guarantee covers every Reserved Seat order.
From the 1939 All-Star Game to the last flag game
Los Angeles staged the first NFL All-Star Game at Wrigley Field on January 15, 1939, and that version lasted until 1942. The Pro Bowl name arrived in January 1951 with a conference-versus-conference setup, which turned into AFC versus NFC once the 1970 merger was done. That matchup held through 2013 and returned in 2017; for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 games, team captains picked mixed rosters in a draft.
The calendar moved too. For decades the game followed the Super Bowl by a week, moved to the Sunday before it in 2010, and in 2026 became a Tuesday event inside Super Bowl week. COVID-19 wiped out the 2021 game, although the league still announced rosters. Peyton and Eli Manning served as the coaches for the first Pro Bowl Games in 2023. The NFC took the final edition 66–52 for a fourth win in a row; Jerry Rice led the NFC bench and Steve Young the AFC. Should the report prove right, no other of the four big U.S. leagues will have dropped an all-star game before the NFL.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy tickets to the next Pro Bowl?
Not at this point. The league had put no future game on its calendar by October 2026, and an August 26, 2026, report in The Athletic said the yearly event is finished. Confirm any listing on the NFL's site before paying.
Will Pro Bowl players still be named?
Yes, according to the same report. The league plans to name an 88-player Pro Bowl team each season under the current fan, player and coach vote.
Who won the final Pro Bowl Games?
The NFC, by a score of 66 to 52, in the flag game played inside San Francisco's Moscone Center on February 3, 2026. It was the NFC's fourth straight win.

Allegiant Stadium drew 56,206 in 2022, and Camping World Stadium drew 55,709 in 2024 and 54,313 in 2025. The 2026 edition used a ballroom that seats roughly 4,000.
