Background
The league awarded the game to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, as a make-up for the 2021 Pro Bowl, which was originally scheduled to be held in that stadium before the COVID-19 pandemic forced alternative festivities to take place instead of an actual game. With the league expanding the regular season from a 16-game schedule to 17 games, the Pro Bowl was moved from the last weekend in January to the first weekend in February.[2]
Broadcasting
The game will be televised nationally in the United States by ESPN, and simulcast on ABC and Disney XD.[2]
