Since 2010, it has been held the week after the Super Bowl. Players from the two teams that advance to the Super Bowl do not participate in order to allow them extra time to recover from any injuries they may have sustained during the season.

The format of the game has been modified several times since its inception. The most recent modification occurred in 2012 when the game switched to a “fantasy draft” format whereby team captains selected players regardless of conference affiliation.

In 1950, the NFL decided to make the Pro Bowl an annual event.

The first Pro Bowl was played on January 15, 1951, at Los Angeles’ Memorial Coliseum. The game featured stars from the 1950 NFL season, including quarterback Sammy Baugh and running back Steve Van Buren of the champion Philadelphia Eagles. The American Conference won that game by a score of 28-27.
