The 2025 Pro Bowl Games was the National Football League (NFL)'s all-star game for the 2024 NFL season. This was the third year that the event consisted of skills competitions and a non-contact flag football game, and the final year that the event had skills competitions, with subsequent years only contesting the flag football game. The first block of skills competitions took place on January 30, 2025, around various venues in Central Florida though mainly at Nicholson Fieldhouse on the campus of the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida, while the flag football game and the other events took place on February 2 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
The NFC won both the skills events and flag football game, 20–13 and 56–50 respectively. This became the first (and ultimately, the only) pro bowl that a single conference outscored the other in both the skills events and the final flag football game. This also became the highest scoring Pro Bowl, breaking the record from the year before.
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).
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).
Rosters The fan voting ran between November 25 and December 23, 2024, with rosters announced on January 2, 2025. 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.

Schedule and results The events were held at Camping World Stadium. The first set of skills competitions were held on Thursday, January 30, 2025, and the second set were held on Sunday, February 2.
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.
