Watch NFL Pro Bowl Verzuz, where NFL Pro Bowl players discuss the NFL Pro Bowl with a highlight reel.
This is part of the 2021 Pro Bowl, which will not be a traditional game; NFL Pro Bowl Verzuz has Deshaun Watson, Jamal Adams, Budda Baker, DeAndre Hopkins, Jalen Ramsey and Cameron Jordan, Myles Garrett, but more are expected to join the list of announced players.
The first night of Verzuz action at the NFL Pro Bowl is headlined by a pair of wide receivers: the Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson and the Tennessee Titans' A.J. Brown.
The series, hosted by NFL Hall of Famers Deion Sanders and MJ Acosta-Lewis, is more than just a look at what players did on the field. The competition will consist of "several fun categories that showcase their talents on and off the field."
Not familiar with this whole format, what is Verzuz? From start times to how to watch Verzuz online, we've compiled the details below.
For those unfamiliar with Verzuz, these shows are informal competitions between artists, in this case athletes. Each player shows a clip from his or her reel, followed by another player who volleys back and forth like a tennis match. The public then decides (in the comments and on social media) who wins.
Verzuz has gained great popularity, and Swizz Beatz (co-creator of the event) announced that the last battle (Gucci Mane vs. Jeezy) broke the "all-time record for live stream viewership" with 9.1 million streamers watching. This is a huge multiple of the most popular Verzuz before it, which topped the estimated 1.2 million viewers for Brandi vs. Monica.
Competitors chat during the festivities, and so far it has been a friendly yet competitive and enjoyable evening of spectating.
The best way to get involved is to open a Verzuz IG account and click the LIVE button.
There is usually a bit of a wait between the 8 pm ET start time and the actual start of the festivities.

This is not music related, so Apple Music is out, other social media services are in; go to the NFL Twitter account and watch the game in tweet land.
If you like Facebook, the NFL's Facebook page is where you can watch the NFL Pro Bowl Wertz's events. Again, festivities begin at 8 p.m. ET.
Neither Verzuz nor the NFL has revealed which YouTube channel will host the festivities. Therefore, we will provide links to both Verzuz's YouTube and the NFL's YouTube.
