How and when to watch the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl

Everything you need to know to catch the action on Sunday as Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll heads the NFC squad in the 2020 Pro Bowl.

For the fourth year in a row, the NFL Pro Bowl will be played in Orlando at Camping World Stadium. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. PT on Sunday, Jan. 26. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes and simulcast on ABC and Disney XD.

Pete Carroll and his Seahawks staff will be coaching the NFC team, Ravens’ John Harbaugh and his crew will head the AFC squad. Each roster is comprised of 21 offensive and 18 defensive players plus five specialists.

Two Seahawks will appear in this year’s Pro Bowl – quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Shaquill Griffin, who was called up as an alternate. Linebacker Bobby Wagner was initially named to the roster but will sit out Sunday’s game due to a knee injury.

The NFL will be testing two potential rule changes during the Pro Bowl – two options after a successful field goal or try attempt in lieu of a kickoff and negating false starts on a flinch by a flexed receiver.
