The 19th annual TV special will take place on Feb. 12, 2023, on Super Bowl Sunday. It will air on Feb. 12 at 11 a.m. Pacific Time, on Animal Planet and will be streamed on Discovery+. This year, the three-hour television matchup will showcase more puppies, animal shelters and rescues, and more inspiring adoption stories.
In addition to the ear pulls, tail tugs, sloppy kisses, and puppy penalties, the Puppy Bowl will highlight the work of rescue and shelter workers who dedicate their lives to helping animals find their forever homes. During the show, 11 shelters around the country will feature one of their puppies, including three kitten shelters that will be all up for adoption during the game.
