The NFL has announced that the new Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will host the 2021 Pro Bowl on January 31st one week before Super Bowl LV.

"The Raiders welcome the NFL Pro Bowl to Allegiant Stadium and to Las Vegas, the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World," said Raiders President Marc Badain. "Pro Bowl week is a celebration of the best the NFL has to offer and there is no better place than Las Vegas to celebrate and honor the league's biggest stars. The NFL, the LVCVA and the Raiders look forward to a world class event that will set the standard for future NFL events in Las Vegas."

Caesars Entertainment, the NFL's Official Casino Sponsor, will use its casino properties for fan experiences during 2021 Pro Bowl. Various activities in Las Vegas include the NFL FLAG Championship games, AFC and NFC team practices and for the fifth consecutive year, Pro Bowl Skills Showdown, where the NFL's biggest stars from each conference compete in unique tests of their skills.

The 2020 NFL Draft was set to take place in Las Vegas, but the COVID-19 pandemic stopped that plan; however, the city will host the event in 2022, one year after it hosts the Pro Bowl.
