The AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl is the all-star match of the NFL. It matches the top players of the National Football Conference against the American Football Conference. For a couple of years, the league experimented with a format that was unconferenced. Here, the teams were chosen by a couple of honorary team captains, who were in the Hall of Fame, instead of choosing the players from each conference. The players were chosen in a televised pick before the match. This year, the AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl will happen on Sunday, February 6, at 3 PM ET. The AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl will be held at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. The match will be broadcast live on ABC and ESPN. The Pro Bowl of the previous year was going to be held at the home field of the Las Vegas Raiders. The match was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. So, the NFL postponed the AFC vs. NFC match at that particular venue this year.
The AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl plans to host many fans in person. They are moving away from the virtual event setting of the previous year. This was when the NFL players, celebrity guests, and alumni played a virtual Pro Bowl on Madden NFL 21. If fans are looking to attend the festivities on their own, the tickets are available online right now. But the attendees should know that they will also be subject to the same coronavirus procedures that apply to the home games of the Raiders. The venue needs proof of coronavirus vaccination to attend the AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl. The week of the match will also have other free festivities for the fans present in Las Vegas, such as the East-West Shrine Bowl, the Pro Bowl practice, and a Pro Bowl Skills Showdown, which will be broadcast live on ESPN. Of course, coronavirus or not, many might not be attending the AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl in person. They can tune in to the match on TV or opt for streaming. The full roster for the AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl has also been revealed.
The position groups with the most choices to the AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl match, with more than seven picks, are cornerbacks and wide receivers. More than five running backs and five quarterbacks were chosen. The offensive lineups were rounded out with a couple of fullbacks, and more than five centers, guards, tackles, and tight ends. The defensive choices include more than five safeties, cornerbacks, inside and middle linebackers, outside linebackers, interior linemen, and defensive ends. Rounding out the complete rosters is a couple of long snappers, special teamers, return specialists, kickers, and punters.

Instead, it was decided to play it out online with rapper Snoop Dogg, Deshaun Watson, and Kyler Murray playing a part. Murray captained the NFC team by taking the controls in the first quarter. He played as himself at the position of quarterback. The quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals led the squad of the NFC to a touchdown in the first quarter and got the MVP honors in the match.
