Las Vegas lost the NFL Draft this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the annual event to be held virtually. It looks like the league has started trying to make it up to the city.

The NFL announced on Tuesday that the 2021 Pro Bowl would be held in Las Vegas on January 31, 2021, at Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Raiders.



The NFL announced in April that the 2022 NFL Draft would take place in Las Vegas.

The Pro Bowl will air on ESPN, ABC, and ESPN Deportes. There will be the usual plethora of events leading to the NFL's annual all-star game, including AFC and NFC squad practices, skill showdowns featuring the game's biggest stars, and more.

The fan experiences leading to the Pro Bowl will be hosted by the casino properties owned by Caesars Entertainment.

Peter O'Reilly, the NFL's EVP of Club Business and League Events, released the following statement:

"We look forward to partnering with the Raiders and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority to bring the excitement of Pro Bowl week to our Las Vegas fans and community for the first time. We thank the city of Orlando for its outstanding partnership in helping us to grow and evolve the Pro Bowl over the last four years. To our partners at Florida Citrus Sports, Camping World Stadium, ESPN Wide World of Sports, and Visit Orlando, we appreciate your tremendous efforts over the years and look forward to creating more memorable moments together in the future."


The Pro Bowl will feature the 44 players from each conference voted to be among the best at their respective positions.
