The 2023 Pro Bowl Games has placed more emphasis on “games” this year than ever before.
The NFL has abandoned the previous format of playing an exhibition football game, with skills challenges only taking on a supplementary role. Instead, it has made the latter the main focus of the 2023 games. But there is one game — three, rather — that will resemble the Pro Bowls of previous years.
That will be a three-game series of flag football games, which will be the final and most impactful games in determining which of the AFC and NFC will win the Pro Bowl this season. Here’s how scoring will work in the 2023 Pro Bowl Games, including the climactic flag football competitions:
Each competition prior to the flag football games is worth 3 points to a conference’s final score, for a total of 24 points. Following that, the first two flag football games are worth six points for the winner.

Points tallied from the first eight events and first two flag football games will be added up, and that will be the score to start the final flag football game; the competition will play out as normal from there, and the team to win the final game will be crowned the 2023 Pro Bowl Games champion.
In that sense, each of the first 10 Pro Bowl events won’t determine the winner — only how big an advantage the AFC or NFC has at the beginning of the winner-takes-all game at the end. The AFC began the second day with a competition with a significant 9-3 lead, winning three of the first four events.
It’s not over the NFC yet, however, especially with six events still left to play. With that, The Sporting News is tracking updates and highlights from the 2023 Pro Bowl flag football games. Follow along below for complete coverage:
