To celebrate 20 years of the special event, the 2024 Puppy Bowl will feature the most adoptable puppies ever. The three-hour televised competition will be the largest yet, featuring 131 puppies, 73 shelters and rescues in 36 states and territories — including the tiniest pup, Sweetpea, at 1.7 lbs and the largest, Levi the Great Dane at 72 lbs.

Inspiring adoption stories will highlight the dedication and incredible work of rescues and shelters as puppies from Team Ruff and Team Fluff take to the field at Puppy Bowl XX Stadium to win the Wayfair “Lombarky” Trophy and find their forever homes. Additionally, to commemorate the anniversary, four past Puppy Bowl players will return to be inducted into the brand new Puppy Bowl Hall of Fame.

Six special-needs puppies are also being introduced, including Riddle, a pug who suffers from the neurological condition cerebellar hypoplasia; Mr. Bean, a papillon who only has his two back legs; and four pups who don't let their deafness slow them down on the soccer field.
