The highly anticipated Puppy Bowl 2025 is gearing up for a spectacular showing on Sunday, February 11, at 2 PM ET, ahead of the Super Bowl. Broadcast live on Animal Planet and streaming on Max, Puppy Bowl 2025 promises to deliver an entertaining afternoon featuring adoptable puppies competing in an adorable gathering meant to promote pet adoption and raise awareness for animal rescue. This year’s event will see puppies from over 60 shelters across the United States, with a focus on finding forever homes for the participating animals. The competition will include 122 puppies, showcased in various playful events designed to illustrate their irresistible charm. In a unique twist, the participating pups will be split into two teams — Team Ruff and Team Fluff — as they engage in playful antics on an elaborate set that mimics a football stadium. The Puppy Bowl also introduces a ‘kitten halftime show’ featuring kittens frolicking in a separate area, adding another layer of cuteness to the broadcast. Host and commentator, Dan Schachner, returns for his 12th Puppy Bowl, continuing to bring excitement and a playful spirit to the event. Viewers can engage in the event by participating in Puppy Bowl Fantasy, choosing their favorite puppies and scoring points as they compete. With estimates suggesting a viewership of nearly 10 million in previous years, this annual celebration of pet adoption and playful spirit has firmly established itself as a beloved alternative for those looking for a heartwarming viewing experience on Super Bowl Sunday.
