Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet starts at 3:00 pm EST.

Tired of the same old Super Bowl™ pre-game show? Looking for some excitement before the opening coin-toss?  Before the big men in pads take the field for their gridiron battle, watch some players that are ready to rumble and "ruff" their way to victory.  We've traded in linebackers for labradors and quarterbacks for corgis and we're releasing the hounds for PUPPY BOWL IV on Sunday, February 3, from 3-6 PM (ET/PT). 

From baby beagles to mini dachshunds to mixed breeds — viewers are in for a fantastic lineup that's itching to play in a winning combination of tackles, puppy penalties and fido first downs. The renowned Harry Kalas, voice of NFL Films, returns to call the play-by-plays of this year's game. 

For all the feline fans, the BISSELL KITTY HALF-TIME SHOW is back!  The lively kittens show off their moves on a glittery stage and chase each other around the field.  Tom Petty's performance has nothing on these tiny tabbies and cuddly calicos which prove that watching curious kittens batting around a toy mouse is all the entertainment you need. It's the pick of the litter for halftime shows! 

And this year, viewers are able to see all of the frolicking like never before. For the first time, PUPPY BOWL IV will be broadcast in high-definition, capturing all of the thrilling action of our cute and cuddly pups in stunning clarity.

I’d rather watch this than the Super Bowl but I don’t have cable.

If you go to You Tube and search ‘Puppy Bowl’ there are many videos from past PBs that you can view : )

You missed the first TD and a holding call.

Holding call this time=biting another dog's butt.

Puppy Bowl II Averaged 690,000 viewers for its broadcast (a 23 percent increase over Puppy Bowl I), equivalent to rating for the State of the Union address. 5 million people in total watched Puppy Bowl II throughout its three airings.

The puppies are so adorable.

There's a rowdy bunch on the field right now.

Thanks for posting this. I’m TiVoing it for my little one now that you’ve reminded me.

TIME OUST!

[ShadowDancer]

I had never heard of this before. My mom told me about it this morning for the girls to watch. ‘Time Oust!’ LOL. It’s pretty cute.

[MotleyGirl70]

The little Markie makes a good linebacker, but he’s already got 2 defensive holding calls.

[MotleyGirl70]

It’s pretty cute.

The Kitty Half-time show is just as cute.

[HungarianGypsy]

Hopefully, we can watch this when it replays. My children are at church and were talking about how they want to watch this. One year we completely skipped the Super Bowl to watch the Puppy Bowl.

Oh my! Time out with unnecessary ruff-ruff-ruffness. LOL!
