NEW YORK — Jan. 2, 2025 — The NFL today announced the AFC and NFC rosters for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.

Player selections for the AFC and NFC rosters for the Pro Bowl Games were determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting as one-third toward determining the all-star players. The NFL is the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its all-star teams. NFL players and coaches voted on Friday, Dec. 27.
