The NFL is eliminating the Pro Bowl Games, instead shifting the focus to celebrating the honor of being a Pro Bowl selection.
Beginning with the 2026 season, 88 players will be named to the Pro Bowl class in late December, with no replacement selections.
“It’s OK to be the first league to walk away from a competitive all-star game,” an NFL spokesperson said.
While no AFC vs. NFC game will be held, players selected as Pro Bowlers will be invited to attend an in-person celebration in Los Angeles during the traditional weekend the Pro Bowl Games took place.
