The annual event, which will be hosted at Camping World Stadium, returns to Central Florida where it previously was held from 2016-2019. The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, then held in Las Vegas in 2021 and 2022.

Past Pro Bowl events have generated an economic impact of $45 million (2019 figures) and an estimated 39,000 hotel room nights. In addition, the games garner lots of televised viewership, with the 2023 Pro Bowl Game drawing 34.2 million viewers, said Florida Citrus Sports documents from June.
