(CNN) — The Pro Bowl is moving to Super Bowl week.
The NFL announced Wednesday the 2026 Pro Bowl Games will be held during Super Bowl LX week in the Bay Area. The main event will still be a flag football game, pitting the NFC against the AFC, and that now will take place on the Tuesday of Super Bowl week.
The NFL in a press release alluded to flag football – a sport that the league has continued to spotlight – making its Olympics debut at the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.
