Puppy Bowl 2023: Meet the 33 perfect puppies participating

Time to meet the puppies of Puppy Bowl XIX. If you can handle the cuteness.

Everyone around the country is excited to watch the big game this weekend as incredible athletes take the field to face off for the most prestigious trophy. I’m talking, of course, about Puppy Bowl XIX. Dozens of the cutest and snuggliest puppies will battle for the Lombarky Trophy and the the honor of propelling either Team Fluff or Team Ruff to victory.

The Puppy Bowl, which will air on Animal Planet and discovery+ at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, February 12 (before the Super Bowl, of course) is designed to showcase adoptable dogs while entertaining us with their rough and tumble play.

Now it’s time to meet the lil’ munchkins that will steal our hearts this weekend (you can also check out photos of the puppies from last year’s Puppy Bowl!).
