While most of this weekend’s focus is on Super Bowl 2024, there’s another big game happening Sunday that’s giving sports fans serious paws. That’s right: It’s the Puppy Bowl. The 2024 Puppy Bowl airs before Super Bowl LVIII, with Team Ruff and Team Fluff competing for the Lombarky Trophy.
What is the Puppy Bowl? Picture a Super Bowl for pups, all for a good cause. An annual televised event, the Puppy Bowl shows footage of puppies at play inside a model stadium with reporters offering commentary on their actions. The event was created to raise awareness about abandoned pets and dog adoption. The puppies featured in the Puppy Bowl are all from shelters.
There’s high stakes here with barking rights on the line. We can’t think of a more fun way to start Super Bowl Sunday than by watching Puppy Bowl XX. Here’s how and when to watch.
What channel is the Puppy Bowl on?
Puppy Bowl XX will be simulcast on Animal Planet, Discovery, TBS, and TruTV.
