Viewers are getting ready for this Sunday’s big event, when players will engage in rough-and-tumble competition. And yes, we’re talking about the annual “Puppy Bowl,” which once again will bring the cuteness to Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 9. The 2025 edition of “Puppy Bowl” once more finds Team Ruff and Team Fluff tussling around to see which tail-wagging team will win the annual “Lombarky” trophy.
What time and TV channel is the Puppy Bowl on Sunday? How many hours does it last?
The 2025 “Puppy Bowl” will showcase three hours of “ruff” action when it airs from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. PT or 2 p.m.-5 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 9 with a live broadcast on Animal Planet, Discovery, TBS, truTV, Max and Discovery Plus. If you don’t have cable, you can still Stream “Puppy Bowl XXI for free with Philo (free trial), or with Fubo (free trial).
Even if you miss the live broadcast of Puppy Bowl XXI, you can still stream the 2025 Puppy Bowl on demand anytime when you sign up for a free trial of Philo.
What are the teams for Puppy Bowl 2025? Will all the puppies be adopted?
The players in “Puppy Bowl XXI” include Team Fluff’s Abigail, a Labrador Retriever; Team Ruff’s Trio, a Boston Terrier; Team Fluff’s Smoosh, a Pekingese; Team Ruff’s Maxx, a Doberman Pinscher; and many more.
In fact, a total of 142 puppy players from 80 shelters and rescues across two states and two countries are on tap to take the field. In addition to the action, the “Puppy Bowl” will feature stories about the importance of adopting animals.
Puppy Bowl referee Dan Schachner is also back, to preside over the competition. In addition to the “Lombarky” trophy, the “Puppy Bowl” will also honor the MVP (Most Valuable Puppy) and the winner of the Underdog Award, which, as press materials say, “will go to the pup that surprises viewers the most with an outstanding performance.”
The 2025 “Puppy Bowl” will also spotlight some special needs dogs, including Jolene, an American Pit Bull Terrier-mix who competes in a wheelchair, and Sprinkle, a blind and hearing-impaired Australian Shepherd-mix.
And this wouldn’t be a Super Bowl-adjacent event without some show business razzle-dazzle, which this year comes courtesy of James Gunn, writer and director of the upcoming movie, “Superman.” Gunn will deliver a message during the game, joined by his dog, Ozu, who apparently helped inspire how Superman’s dog, Krypto, is characterized in the “Superman” movie.
And though dogs will have their day at the “Puppy Bowl,” the “Kitty Halftime Show” will again showcase some feline friends.
