The 2024 Pro Bowl Games will not be played in Las Vegas in 2024.
After hosting the games at Camping World Stadium in Orlando from 2017 to 2020, the week-long celebration will be returning as NFL and city and county officials said in a news conference Tuesday.
One thing that will remain the same is former quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning returning to be head coaches of the AFC and NFC flag football teams.
Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s executive vice president of club business and league events, released a statement:
“Building off the success from last year’s reinvented format that elevated flag football and introduced fun forms of competition and entertainment, we are thrilled to bring The 2024 Pro Bowl Games to Orlando,” O’Reilly said, via NFL.com. “Hosting multiple Pro Bowls in years past, Orlando is a world-class destination and a favorite getaway for our players and their families, and we look forward to working with the city of Orlando and Florida Citrus Sports to create the ultimate all-star celebration for players, their families, and our fans.”
The Pro Bowl was last held at Allegiant Stadium in 2022 after a year off due to COVID-19. That brought over 60,000 fans to Las Vegas for the games. The games also drew 6.4 million viewers.

The weeklong event features AFC vs. NFC stars competing in various skills challenges and culminates with a flag-football game.
The Pro Bowl is scheduled for February 4th and the fans as well as iewers are expected to be tuning in just as they did this past season.
There were many who called for the Pro Bowl to be changed as fans started hating it every single year and this massive change was a success.
