Though the Pro Bowl is perhaps the most derided all-star game in sports, it still draws huge numbers. The NFL expects the game to garner another large TV audience this Sunday.
Pro Bowl 2015 online streaming: Kickoff time, schedule, teams and live stream
Something resembling football takes place on Sunday. Here’s how you can tune in.
For the majority of the Pro Bowl’s lifespan, the teams were divided by conference. However, the league changed the format in 2014 to spark interest in the event. Now, both teams will field rosters selected in fantasy draft conducted the week before the game. This year’s alumni captains were Hall of Fame receivers Michael Irvin and Cris Carter.
The captains for the Pro Bowl teams are the offensive and defensive players who received the highest vote totals during the initial voting process. Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray and Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden represent Team Irvin. Team Carter is captained by J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans and Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers. You can find the full rosters here.
Another change from past years is the location. The Pro Bowl has historically been played in Hawaii as a way to entice players on the fence to come out for the event. This year, the game will be staged at University of Phoenix Stadium, the same site as Super Bowl 49.
Though the game itself is often lackluster, the extracurricular activity tends to be amusing, at least, and at least it’s low stress. Here’s you can tune in:
