The 2020 Pro Bowl was the National Football League's all-star game for the 2019 NFL season. It was played on January 26, 2020, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, and was televised nationally by ESPN, while being simulcast on ABC and Disney XD.

Fan voting began on November 12, 2019, and ended on December 12, 2019. [2] The initial roster was released on December 17, 2019. The Baltimore Ravens tied an NFL record (set by the 2007 Dallas Cowboys) by having 13 players selected to the game. The coaching staff for the AFC was led by John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens, and for the NFC by Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks. [3] The AFC won the game, 38–33.

This was the first occasion since the 1995 season that the New York Giants had no player make the Pro Bowl.

The game was largely overshadowed by the news of NBA legend Kobe Bryant's death in a helicopter crash on the day the game was held, which also claimed the lives of his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and 7 other victims. The tragedy prompted the NFL to conduct a moment of silence during the game for Bryant and the other victims of the crash, with various on-field tributes occurring during the game.

Background

The NFL's three-year contract with Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, expired after the 2019 game. The league explored alternative sites, including hosting the game in Miami a week after the Super Bowl. [4] In August 2019, the NFL decided to keep the game in Orlando for an additional year. [5]

Rule changes

As in previous years, some rules for the Pro Bowl were different from the regular season. Some of the rules used in this game were: [6]

Broadcasting

The game was televised nationally by ESPN, while being simulcast on ABC and Disney XD, and in Spanish by ESPN Deportes. [11]

Early in the first quarter, an ABC News special report (simulcast on ESPN, with Disney XD continuing on with game coverage) interrupted the game to announce the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash earlier in the day; before the game, NFC players who learned of his death conducted a prayer led by Wilson, while various on-field tributes were made during the game. [12] With coverage of Bryant's death becoming a certain and continuing theme of the game coverage, it was decided to end the Disney XD simulcast with nine minutes remaining in the second quarter and switch that network to an impromptu marathon of Big City Greens .
