Scoring for the Pro Bowl Games works in the following way:

• The winning conference of each skill competition earns three points towards their team's overall score, with 33 points available across the 11 skills events.
• Points from the Flag game (four, 12-minute quarters played on Sunday) will be added to points earned from Skills competitions to determine the winning conference for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
• The winning conference at the conclusion of the Flag game will be crowned the winner of the Pro Bowl Games.

A staple of the annual AFC vs. NFC competition, the NFL's top players are set to participate in the following new and fan-favorite Pro Bowl skills competitions that showcase their football and non-football skills (subject to change):

Thursday, Jan. 30:

Passing The Test (three points available): Quarterbacks try to hit targets at various distances around the field worth different point values in 40 seconds. Before the challenge, each quarterback will select a Pro Bowl Games teammate to answer five trivia questions about current Pro Bowl players. For every correct answer, the quarterback gets an additional 10 seconds. The winner of the competition is the team with the quarterback who scores the most points.

Satisfying Catches presented by SNICKERS^® (three points available): One wide receiver, tight end and defensive back from each conference will compete in a challenge obstacle course, including catches from a jugs machine at three different distances, to test every aspect of catching a football. Each teammate will complete the course back-to-back with the lowest combined time winning the challenge.

The Big Spike (three points available): Three big men from each conference step up to the Spike-o-Meter and have three attempts to score the highest number on their spike. The player with the highest score, measured by power and impact, will win their conference three points.

Relay Race (three points available): A simultaneous relay-style event where four players from each conference complete a 40-yard dash before handing a football to the next athlete on their team, continuing until the fourth and final leg crosses the finish line. The conferences will compete in three rounds, with the fastest team winning.

Helmet Harmony (three points available): A game show to test player knowledge of their teammates, with every correct answer worth one point. The team with the most correct answers wins.

Dodgeball presented by Bud Light (six points available): A two-round tournament of classic dodgeball featuring four teams of seven players. Teams will be a mix of AFC offensive, defensive and special teams players competing against a mix of NFC offensive, defensive and special teams players. Each match is worth three points.

Sunday, Feb. 2:

Punt Perfect (three points available): Two players (one punter, one non-punter) from each conference punt from the 35-yard line, attempting to place as many punts as possible in one minute (or 12 punts) into a set of six buckets in the end zone. Each bucket is worth one point, with every fourth punt worth three points. The two players with the highest combined score will be the winners.

Madden NFL 25 Competition (three points available): Two AFC players and two NFC players meet in a high-stakes showdown in Madden NFL 25. The entire event, hosted by Charissa Thompson and Kurt Benkert, will be streamed live on EA Sports Madden's Twitch channel on Saturday, Feb. 1, with a full replay available on the NFL's YouTube channel. In addition to being streamed live on Saturday, ESPN will air a clip as part of Sunday's Pro Bowl Games coverage.

The Great Football Race (three points available): Six players from each conference will face off in a relay race consisting of five different challenges, culminating with a sled push. The team to cross the finish line first wins and earns three points for their conference.

Tug-of-War (three points available): A five-on-five demonstration of teamwork, strength and strategy, and positioned above a foam pit, players are challenged to pull backwards on the rope, attempting to move the opposing team in their direction. The competition will be the best of three, and the winner who pulls the opposing team into the foam pit twice wins and earns three points for their conference.
