Get ready for the cutest sports event of the year! The Puppy Bowl is back for its 22nd edition (Puppy Bowl XXII), and the photos of this year’s players are finally here. If you love puppies, wagging tails, and messy touchdowns, this is the event for you.
What is the Puppy Bowl?
The Puppy Bowl is a fun “football” game played entirely by puppies. Instead of big helmets and grass fields, these furry athletes play inside a tiny stadium called the “GEICO Stadium.”
There are two main teams that face off every year:
-
Team Ruff (they usually wear orange bandanas).
-
Team Fluff (they usually wear blue bandanas).
The dogs play with chew toys, run around the field, and try to drag toys into the “End Zone” to score points. If a puppy takes a nap or has an accident on the field, the referee might even call a “penalty!”

How to Watch
The Puppy Bowl usually airs on the same day as the Super Bowl. It is a great way for families to watch something together that is 100% “paws-itive” and fun.
Even if you aren’t a big sports fan, it’s hard not to smile when you see these little heroes tripping over their own paws to score a touchdown.
Conclusion
Puppy Bowl 2026 is proof that you don’t need to be a pro athlete to be a star. These puppies are winning hearts one bark at a time. Make sure to check out the photos of Team Ruff and Team Fluff and see if you can pick a favorite!
