Puppy Bowl 2023 time, date and how to watch.
The Puppy Bowl is one of the most highly-anticipated sporting events of the year …. if you love dogs. This year, the event which features cute dogs playing football will take place on Sunday, Feb. 12 right before the Super Bowl.
This has become a time-honored tradition for years as a fun and adorable way to celebrate the big game and also have fun with puppies. What could be better?
THEY ARE UP FOR ADOPTION! That’s how it gets better. According to the Puppy Bowl official website, “Puppy Bowl, the original and longest-running call-to-adoption TV event returns for its 19th year” where they will “showcase more puppies, more animal shelters and rescues and more inspiring adoption stories than ever before as the puppy players from Team Ruff and Team Fluff take to the gridiron in the Puppy Bowl stadium to win the Wayfair ‘Lombarky’ trophy.”
They also said, “During the game, audiences will also meet eleven special needs puppy players looking for their forever homes that will include Julius, a hearing-impaired Dalmatian, Marmalade, a sight and hearing-impaired Border Collie/ Australian Cattle Dog; Mykonos, an American Staffordshire Terrier/ Bulldog with a cleft palate, among others.”
