There's another big game to catch today.
With all due respect to the Super Bowl LVIII, the Chiefs, and the 49ers, there’s another big game that should be on your radar today: The Puppy Bowl XX.
Celebrating 20 years, the 2024 Puppy Bowl will have the largest number of adoptable dogs in the game’s history, including the smallest pup in the Puppy Bowl ever at a tiny-but-mighty 1.7 lbs, as well as the largest one, a young great dane, at 70 lbs. The tail-wagging game is set to air on Sunday, February 11. So let the fur-ocious festivities begin!
This year's Puppy Bowl will be easier to watch than ever before because it will simultaneously air on Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, TBS and TruTV, as well as stream on Max.
This heartwarming annual “competition” is held every Super Bowl Sunday to raise awareness about the importance of animal adoption. The 2024 Puppy Bowl will feature 131 dogs selected from 73 shelters. The pups will play for either Team Ruff or Team Fluff in hopes of winning the Lombarky Trophy. Puppy Bowl points are earned by any player dragging any toy into any end zone — basically, everyone’s a winner!
Puppy Bowl XX will feature some notable — and adorable — puppy players, including Cronut a wrinkly Shar-Pei who will keep his eyes on the ball, and Stryker, a deaf Border Collie who won't let his hearing loss stop him on the field.
The event will also feature a feline-focused halftime show where the canine contestants will be swapped out for feisty kittens. If you’re excited to tune in to all this cuteness, keep reading to find out how to watch the Puppy Bowl in 2024.
