Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts are about to square off in the Super Bowl, but the most adorable matchup of the day belongs to the historic rivalry between Team Ruff and Team Fluff as we prepare for Puppy Bowl 2025!

The longest-running call-to-adoption TV event returns for its 21st year. The three-hour broadcast will feature 142 rescue puppies from 80 shelters as these endearing pooches compete to capture the coveted “Lombarky” trophy.

“Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl serves as an annual pop culture programming event that continues to expand in reach, awareness and of course, puppies, every year,” Chief Creative Officer of U.S. Networks and President of Discovery Networks Howard Lee said in a statement. “Win or lose, Puppy Bowl XXI will have the cutest players in the game on Sunday, February 9, and will inspire families across the country to adopt a new furry friend.”
