CINCINNATI — The 2023 Pro Bowl Skills Competition is set!

The Pro Bowl is scheduled for Feb. 5 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and airs on ESPN/ABC. It will not be a traditional game this year, but instead a series of mini-competitions between the AFC and NFC.

Peyton Manning is the AFC coach while his brother, Eli Manning, is the NFC coach alongside DeMarcus Ware as defensive coordinator.

• Best Catch: On Sunday, the top vote-getters from each conference will compete head-to-head, as they perform in front of a panel of celebrity judges. The pass-catcher who accumulates the highest score from the judges will be determined the winner.

• Gridiron Gauntlet: A side-by-side relay race showcasing strength, speed, and agility, six players from each conference will compete to see who finishes first and wins three points for his team. The four-part Gauntlet, each segment 40 yards in length, includes a series of breakaway walls, a section of climbing over walls and under tables, a tire run, and a blocking sled carrying a Legend coach across the finish line.

• Kick Tac Toe: Each team's kicker, punter, and long snapper compete in a giant Tic-Tac-Toe competition to showcase their respective skills. The first team to complete a connecting line of three squares or hit five squares total will be declared the winner and earn three points for his conference.

• Move The Chains: Four teams (two teams from each conference) will compete side by side in a weighted wall pull that will showcase their strength, speed, and ingenuity. Each team of five players is responsible for pulling a wall, loaded up with heavy weights, 10 yards as quickly as possible using first-down chains. The winner of the best-of-three playoff will earn three points for their conference.

Cincinnati and Baltimore run it back in the Wild Card round on Sunday at 8:15 p.m. ET. The game is available on NBC via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
