How to watch Puppy Bowl 2023

Puppy Bowl 2023, or Puppy Bowl XIX (taking inspiration from the Super Bowl), is an opportunity to celebrate adoptable dogs as well as the shelters and rescues that work to help these animals find their forever homes. To do this, the Puppy Bowl features more than 100 dogs playing on a faux football field with toys and each other, and maybe even occasionally score a touchdown.

There is going to be some pre Puppy Bowl coverage at 1 pm ET/10 am PT on Animal Planet, before the official game takes place at 2 pm ET/11 am PT on the channel.

Many of the dogs that are competing in the Puppy Bowl have wonderfully already found their forever homes. However, for those that haven’t, the information on the shelters and rescues that they are from will be provided during the broadcast for interested viewers to check out. And even if the pup you have your eye on is already adopted, their shelters will have other dogs available for adoption, possibly including one of their siblings.

Puppy Bowl 2023 hosts

While the stars of the Puppy Bowl are undoubtedly the pups, there are a few humans that will be a big part of the proceedings. Dan Schachner is returning to the Puppy Bowl for the 12th time as the referee. While Steve Levy and Taylor Rooks are set to be the Puppy Bowl commentators.

No “coaches” have been announced for Team Fluff and Team Ruff as of yet. Last year they were Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg.

How to watch Puppy Bowl 2023

There are two options for US viewers to watch Puppy Bowl 2023, as the special event airs on Animal Planet and be available to stream on Discovery Plus.

Animal Planet is a cable channel, so subscribers to traditional cable/satellite pay-TV services should check to see if the channel is available on their service or look for one that does carry it. Animal Planet is also available on some live TV streaming services, including FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV.

Discovery Plus, meanwhile, is the streaming option. The subscription service costs $4.99 per month with ads or $6.99 per month without them. In addition to being available in the US, Discovery Plus is available in a range of countries, including the UK, meaning that the Puppy Bowl should be available to those outside of the US signed up for Discovery Plus.

Also, ahead of the planned merger of HBO Max and Discovery Plus, the former streaming service is also going to be streaming the Puppy Bowl for its subscribers.
