Puppy Bowl XXI is almost here, and you will not want to miss it. How can you watch the adorable pups play ball for their teams?

Puppy Bowl is an annual event held on the same day as the Super Bowl. It features many puppies from shelters across America (and we have an international pup this time) getting to play a game of football. Pups of all breeds and disabilities get a chance to play, and they are split between Team Ruff and Team Fluff.

Families everywhere will enjoy this game. Here’s a look at all the ways that you can watch it.

How to watch Puppy Bowl XXI live on your TV

If you watch on traditional cable, then you’ll want to tune into either Animal Planet or Discovery. Animal Planet is where this game first began, so it is the channel that I hold closest to my heart. That’s a personal choice, though. You’re supporting the same company either way and your views will be counted to prove that we need more Puppy Bowl.

TBS and TruTV will also air the game live. You’ll need to check your cable provider to see if you have them.

The game starts at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT. You can tune in an hour earlier for some of the breakdowns of the pups and the companies supporting the game if you want.

Stream Puppy Bowl 2025 online

Don’t watch via regular TV? Streaming has you covered. This is a Warner Bros. Discovery event, so you can go to two streaming platforms to watch this game play out.

You need Max or discovery+. Either one will work. It’s completely up to you.

The game is streamed live, so you will need to tune in at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT still. It is usually available to rewatch later on in the day if you want, but you’re then cutting into Super Bowl time!

Puppy Bowl 2025 is a must-watch in this house! Tune in at 2 p.m. ET/PT on any of the channels and streamers above.
