Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend, but if you aren’t interested in the Brock Purdy vs. Patrick Mahomes showdown, you may want to check out the Bark Purdy vs. Patrick Mabones game. That’s right, for all the animal lovers out there, Team ruff and team Fluff are about to go head-to-adorable-head in Puppy Bowl XX! For the last two decades, the Puppy Bowl has been providing a fluffy alternative option for the football-averse come Super Bowl Sunday. The heartwarming game is meant to encourage viewers to consider adopting a dog from an animal shelter or rescue. Bark Purdy and Pat Mabones are just two of the 131 rescue pups competing for the Lombarky trophy in what will be the largest Puppy Bowl yet.
This year’s competition will see dogs from 73 shelters and rescues from 36 states and territories featured on the field. The 20th Puppy Bowl will also make history with the smallest competitor in all of Puppy Bowl history: Sweetpea the 1.7-pound Cavapoo. Puppy Bowl 20 will also feature the halftime kitty show, a new puppy assistant coach, and four new inductees to the Puppy Bowl Hall of Fame.

Is the Puppy Bowl live?
