The 2018 Pro Bowl rosters will be revealed

will be selected to the Pro Bowl. NFL players and coaches cast their votes on
Friday, December 15.
The NFL is the only sports league that combines
voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its All-Star teams. It was
also the first professional sports league to offer online all-star voting in
1995.
The 2018 Pro Bowl, which kicks off at a new
start time of 3:00 PM ET on Sunday, January 28, will be televised live from
Camping World Stadium on ESPN and ESPN Deportes and simulcast on ABC.
Tickets to the game
start at $45 and are on sale now at ProBowl.com. Last year’s sold-out event – the Pro Bowl’s first
time in Orlando – featured a capacity crowd of more than 60,000. Fans may visit
ProBowl.com for additional information on Pro Bowl Week, which features a
variety of free, family-friendly events in Orlando.
The
Pro Bowl is an all-inclusive event for fans on gameday. Working with
KultureCity, Camping World Stadium’s sensory-inclusive partner, the NFL will
offer families who attend the 2018 Pro Bowl support, including sensory
accessibility resources and two dedicated sensory rooms located in the stadium
on gameday to enable them to enjoy the game with more confidence and comfort.
