What is the Puppy Bowl?

It is an annual event held to promote animal rescue. In a park littered with toys and two sizable dog teams, Team Ruff and Team Fluff engage in play. Wins go to the squad that can throw the most balls into either end zone.

During its three-hour duration, the competition features animal shelters and rescues, and each participant is a rescue dog.

The event has a charitable purpose, and its planners want to keep the Puppy Bowl's record of 100% widespread adoption alive. The prettiest Super Bowl warmup activity will be broadcast live, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Where to watch the Puppy Bowl?

The Puppy Bowl will be live on Animal Planet this year. Team Ruff and Team Fluff have faced off in the competition for several years. The two sides will once again be featured in the game this year.

Both the streaming services, Discovery+ and FuboTV provide free trials to new subscribers. If you don't want to be charged after your trial period, don't forget to cancel. We advise adding a reminder to your diary, smartphone, or both.
