Football Games Today: Yes, There's Football on TV
Even though Super Bowl LX doesn't take place until Sunday, Feb. 8, that doesn't mean football games are totally over.
So, are there football games today or football games tonight on TV today? Well, the good news is that yes, ahead of that final championship game, there is a football game airing live, and you can watch it tonight.
The Super Bowl, by the way, is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 8, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with the Seattle Seahawks taking on the New England Patriots in what's being called a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX.
Football Games Today
Are there football games tonight? Yes, there's football on TV tonight, and that's a beautiful thing. The 2026 Pro Bowl will air on ESPN on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 8 p.m. ET, live from San Francisco.
The NFL Pro Bowl is the league's all-star event, offering both skills competitions and non-contact flag football. The game has the NFL's top players competing in a non-competitive setting. It's always a feather in the caps of players to be included in the event, because only the best are picked.
For the 2026 Pro Bowl, Scott Van Pelt will do play-by-play calling for the broadcast, and analysts Jason Kelce and Dan Orlovsky will also serve as hosts. Laura Rutledge and Michelle Beisner-Buc will be the sideline reporters for the event.
The 2026 Pro Bowl teams will have coaches in Jerry Rice for the NFC and Steve Young for the AFC, replacing Eli and Peyton Manning from last year. Both Rice and Young are Pro Football Hall of Famers who won Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers.
Since this year's Pro Bowl, as with the previous several years, is a flag football event, it's a good chance for the team to highlight the debut of flag football for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Flag Football Gets the Spotlight
Flag football will be on the LA28 Olympic sports program, which is something the International Olympic Committee announced in October 2023.
"Its inclusion, led by efforts of the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) and supported by the NFL, showcases an aspirational new pathway to elite play and the incredible development of the sport globally," the NFL said in a statement at the time.
"As we celebrate the successes of Paris 2024 and the ball is thrown to LA28, "IFAF President, Pierre Trochet, said in a statement, "we have no doubt flag football is going to light up the Games when it makes its debut in four years' time."
"As Paris 2024 continues," the NFL said in a statement, "the spotlight after the Closing Ceremony will quickly shift to the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 and the excitement around the official inclusion of men's and women's flag football on the LA28 sports program."
