Pro Bowl Games hit a record low 1.9 million viewers

Our Summary

The NFL's Pro Bowl Games experienced a significant decline in viewership, dropping to an all-time low of 1.9 million viewers. This marks a 60% decrease from 2025, when the event attracted 4.7 million viewers, and nearly a 70% drop from the first year of the flag-football format, which drew 6.2 million viewers. The shift of the event from Sunday to Tuesday night is believed to have contributed to the decline. This raises questions about the future viability of the Pro Bowl Games, as the current viewership numbers are considered insufficient for an event associated with the NFL.
