Before the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs go head-to-head in Super Bowl 54 on Sunday, Feb. 2 you can tune into Animal Planet’s annual Puppy Bowl. Below is everything you need to know about Puppy Bowl XVI including how to watch the 2020 game online and on TV.

What To Expect

Team Ruff and Team Fluff are at it again! Animal Planet will air its 2020 Puppy Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday. As part of its sixteenth-year celebration, the event will unleash “more puppy players than ever before in all-new team colors,” the synopsis reveals. The event also promises two-hours worth of “sloppy kisses, puppy piles & penalties, epic puppy playtime, and more” from over 96 adoptable puppies.

In the end, one puppy will be awarded the augural CHEWY “Lombarky” trophy at GEICO stadium, all under the watchful eye of “Rufferee” Dan Schachner. The pups also have the chance to win BISSELL’s MVP (Most Valuable Puppy) award by scoring the most game touchdowns using toys.

When, Where And How To Watch

While the official Puppy Bowl will kick off simultaneously at 3 p.m. EST/12 p.m. PST on Animal Planet and Animal Planet GO on Sunday, those interested in hearing some “aww-nalysis” and “cuddly commentary” from sports correspondents will need to tune in for the pre-game show at 2 p.m. EST/11 a.m. PST. The pregame special is also streaming now on Animal Planet GO.

Animal Planet’s YouTube channel will also feature “live puppy playtime warm-up” before the game. Fans can check out the full starting lineup here.
