Fan voting began on November 27, 2023, and ended on December 25. ^[2] The rosters were then announced on January 3, 2024. ^{[3] [4]} The AFC dominated the flag football game 50–34 however they lost the game as the NFC was even more dominant in skills competitions 30–9, for a final score of 64 NFC, and 59 AFC, it was the highest scoring Pro Bowl game, beating the 2004 Pro Bowl score of 55 NFC, 52 AFC.^{[ citation needed ]}

Background

The NFL announced on July 25, 2023, that Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida would be the site for the game after spending the last two years at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. ^[1] Prior to Allegiant Stadium's two years, Camping World Stadium hosted the Pro Bowl from 2017 to 2020 (no game was held in 2021). ^[5] The 2024 pro bowl “games” had its lowest TV rating since 2006.

Format

The format consisted of various skill competition events and a 7-on-7 flag football game, with the first block of events having been held on February 1, 2024. On February 4, the remainder of the event program took place at Camping World Stadium. ^[2]

On December 20, 2023, the league announced the skills competitions for both days, with a tug of war added to the program. The Closest to the Pin golf accuracy competition replaced the Longest Drive. The High Stakes event replaced the Lightning Round, reducing the previous year's three-part challenge to just the competition where players attempt to catch punts. In addition, the Madden NFL Head-to-Head event, in which two players from each conference play the Madden NFL video game using the Pro Bowl rosters, counted as part of the skill competitions instead of just being an exhibition event for the past few years. ^{[6] [7] [8]}

Rosters

The fan voting ran between November 27 and December 25, 2023. ^[2] The final rosters were then announced on January 3, 2024. ^{[3] [4]}
