Team Ruff vs. Team Fluff airs ahead of Super Bowl LII (6:30 pm ET) for the 14th year. This year will feature more puppies than ever – 90 players – from 48 shelters and rescues from 26 U.S. states and territories. The teams will compete for the coveted Lombarki Trophy.
For the first time ever, Animal Planet will also premiere Puppy Bowl Presents: The Dog Bowl. The Dog Bowl will feature all adult dogs living in rescues and shelters who are frequently passed over. And the kitty halftime, ONE WORD show will feature Kitt-ENSYNC who will sing a “Meow Meow Meow” to the tune of ‘NSync’s 2000 hit “Bye Bye Bye.”
