The 2024 Pro Bowl festivities are on the horizon, marking the second consecutive year since the league departed from the traditional tackle football game.
Instead, the event will consist of safer skills competitions and non-contact flag football games, offering an engaging and entertaining alternative to the traditional tackle football format.
The current format, introduced in 2023, received positive feedback, prompting its return for this year's Pro Bowl festivities.
The Pro Bowl festivities are scheduled for Thursday, February 1, and Sunday, February 4, at the Nicholson Fieldhouse and Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
