The 2026 Pro Bowl Games was the National Football League (NFL)'s all-star game for the 2025 NFL season. This was the fourth and final year the event has consisted of a non-contact flag football game, and the first year it has been integrated into the Super Bowl's festivities instead of a standalone event. It took place in the week leading up to Super Bowl LX on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California, the site of this season's Super Bowl Experience. The NFC defended their win from the previous year's flag football game with a 66–52 win, extending their win streak to four straight, retaining their undefeated record since the format change, and allowing them to retake a 27–26 all-time lead over the AFC in Pro Bowl events.
This was the final edition of the Pro Bowl Games, as the NFL announced in August 2026 that they would be discontinued.
Background In October 2025, the NFL announced plans to integrate the Pro Bowl Games into the Super Bowl's festivities rather than continue to hold it as a standalone event. It will be designed as a more intimate, television-oriented event held inside a 4,000-seat ballroom at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, the site of this season's Super Bowl Experience. The league also intends to use it as a preview for flag football's Olympics debut at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
Format The format included a 7-on-7 flag football game held on February 3, 2026. The Skills Competition was not televised this year and did not count towards the points of the final score. Portions were shown on social media and other digital platforms. In the three prior years held that were worth points towards the final score.
Rosters The fan voting ran from November 27, 2025, to December, with the initial rosters announced on December 23, 2025. After quarterback Drake Maye and the New England Patriots advanced to Super Bowl LX, he was replaced by Shedeur Sanders; the Cleveland Browns rookie was reportedly selected because a number of other AFC quarterbacks were either injured or declined to participate, but it sparked outbursts from fans due to Sanders's subpar season that included a 3–4 record, a 56.6 completion percentage, a 7-10 interception ratio, and a 68.1 passer rating.

Broadcasting ESPN will continue to produce the telecasts of the Pro Bowl Games. However, ABC will no longer simulcast the flag football game live due to the broadcast network's prior commitment to air its regular Tuesday night primetime lineup. However, ABC aired a one-hour Pro Bowl Games content special, Championship Chase: The Pro Bowl produced by NFL Films on Sunday, February 1, preceded by a special edition of NFL Live on ESPN. This special was narrated by Method Man and made available on ESPN digital platforms the next day.
