will also be able to vote directly on Twitter. To cast such a vote, fans should tweet the first and last name of the
player, the player’s official Twitter handle, or a hashtag including the player’s first and last name. All three of
these methods must include the hashtag: #ProBowlVote. Voting via Twitter is in addition to the online ballot at

Fans are able to vote as many times as they like through both NFL.com/ProBowlVote or directly on twitter.

The 2019 Pro Bowl presented by Verizon, which kicks off at 3:00 PM ET, will be televised live on ESPN, ESPN

benefits on gameday, including AFC & NFC seating sections, player red carpet viewing, special kid zone

Players for the game are determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group’s vote
counts one-third toward determining the 88 All-Star players who will be selected to the Pro Bowl. NFL players
and coaches will cast their votes on Friday, December 14.
