Background

The NFL announced that Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, would be the site for the games after hosting it the year before. Previously, Camping World Stadium hosted the Pro Bowl from 2017 to 2020 (no game was held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).^[1]

Format

The format consisted of various skill competition events and a 7-on-7 flag football game, with the first block of events held on January 30, 2025. On February 2, the remainder of the event program took place at Camping World Stadium (the full Madden NFL 25 game aired on February 1 with clips being shown on Sunday).^[2][3]

Rosters

The fan voting ran between November 25 and December 23, 2024, with rosters announced on January 2, 2025.^[2][4][5] Three rookies were named to the initial roster: quarterback Jayden Daniels, tight end Brock Bowers, and outside linebacker Jared Verse. Later, rookie wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Malik Nabers replaced Zay Flowers and Amon-Ra St. Brown, respectively, after the latter two went down with injury. After Lamar Jackson chose not to participate, he was replaced by rookie quarterback Drake Maye.

Thursday

Passing the Test

Passing the Test was an accuracy competition in which each quarterback from both conferences attempted to hit as many targets as possible in the given time, including six stationary targets and three moving targets. After all targets had been hit, the quarterback was allowed to hit it a second time for points. Quarterbacks attempted to hit targets for points until they were out of time. To determine how much time each quarterback had, the quarterbacks were matched with a Pro Bowl partner and asked to answer five trivia questions. Each quarterback started with 40 seconds of time, being awarded an additional 10 second for each correct answer.^[8]
