Puppy Bowl 20 In Conjunction With The 2024 Superbowl 58
Believe it or not, it’s been Two Decades since the First “Puppy Bowl” was introduced as a way to introduce potential Pet Parent Adopters to Adoptable Puppies all across the USA; each nominated by local animal shelters.
This year’s 2024 Puppy Bowl Adoptees are from all across the USA; each nominated by local animal shelters.
This year’s 2024 Puppy Bowl Adoptees are from The 20th anniversary on Animal Planet featuring an impressive 131 puppy players from 73 shelters and rescues across 36 states in the USA and territories as they represent "Team Ruff” or “Team Fluff”. Included in these fur-ocious teams are the all-time smallest pup, Sweetpea, at 1.7 lbs and the biggest, Levi the Great Dane pup at 70 lbs.
Every animal is up for adoption to forever loving, respectful homes and yes, they will be thoroughly ‘screened’ before allowing potential pet parents and animals to be placed together.
All in all there are 131 Puppy Bowl ‘Players’ whose participants are representing Sixty-Seven (73) Animal Rescue Shelters from Thirty-Four (36) states and territories. * Last year there were 34 states/territories representing, so we’re happy to say that we’re up once again this year from the previous year!
This year there will also be Six Special Needs puppy players; including a pup with Cerebellar Hypoplasia; a neurological disorder. Cerebellar hypoplasia in dogs is a condition where the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls coordination, fails to fully develop. This is a condition that happens while the puppies are still in utero and often is genetic, but once the puppy is born the condition typically does not worsen over time. * read more about Cerebellar Hypoplasia in one of our upcoming articles.
For halftime, instead of singing and dancing human performers, there is a ‘Kitten’ Bowl. Adorbs!
There is even a Puppy Cheering Squad, a water-bowl camera, and of course the usual slo-motion cam and an end-zone camera; just like in NFL Football.
Animal Planet, TBS, and the Discovery Channel , HBO Max, Disney +, Hulu, YouTube TV, Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, and FUBO TV are all streaming options, as well as some Cable TV subscription options so that you don’t miss any of the action.
The same referee: Dan Schachner, who for the previous Twelve (12) years has been the Puppy Bowl referee will return again this year to host the festivities. The Sportscasters handling Play-By-Play action are Steve Levy and Taylor Rooks.
The Number Twenty (20) 2024 Puppy Bowl will begin airing at 11 a.m. Pacific Standard Time/ 2p.m. Eastern Time and its Pre-Game Show will kick Off at 10 a.m. Pacific time zone.
