While the rest of the NFL season was played across the United States with limited capacity, the Pro Bowl is an annual celebration of the all-star players around the league.

Players, coaches and fans pick and choose their favourite players and two rosters are made for each conference, NFC and AFC.

These two rosters will now face in Madden 21 with Pro Bowl-selected NFC and AFC members playing against each other.

So without further ado, here is everything you need to know about the 2021 Pro Bowl Madden NFL Edition.
