If you need to watch online and have a cable subscription, you should be able to log in through either your cable provider's or network's site. From the streaming side, you catch it for free via FuboTV or paid options like Sling TV and Hulu+Live.
IS THERE A PRE-GAME SHOW? At 1 pm E&/10 am PT, Animal Planet will host its annual pre-game show, going behind the scenes of the draft with exclusive interviews with coaches and players. Viewers will also learn more about each player's breed mix and other unique traits from the Wisdom Panel pet DNA test that could help determine who will have a furry leg-up on the field. The pre-game show will check in with the Bissell Pet Foundation to see how they are continuing to improve their lifesaving efforts and also provide a first look at the Kitty Halftime Show presented by Arm & Hammer Slide.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GAME'S OFF-FIELD HIGHLIGHTS? Subaru will sponsor "Pup Close and Personal" segments that share some of the all-star athletes' backstories. Baltimore Ravens player Ronnie Stanley's rescue foundation, which trains dogs – including hound Linus – to support people with special needs, and Beignet – a New Orleans dachshund – who gets a nose-to-tail makeover before the big game will be highlighted. In addition, Pedigree's "Adoptable Pup" segments will feature puppies – and a few kittens – from 14 shelters and rescues across the country, all available for adoption during the game. Country singer and adoption advocate Miranda Lambert is set to introduce the first segment – with her non-profit, MuttNation, featuring a senior dog seeking a permanent home.

And here's a rundown of where from across the United States this year's roster comes from:
WHAT ARE THE PUPPIES COMPETING FOR? Over the course of three hours, viewers will get to know 131 puppies from 73 shelters & rescues across 36 states and territories – including the all-time smallest pup, Sweetpea (1.7 lbs), and the biggest, Levi the Great Dane (72 lbs). Team Ruff & Team Fluff are competing for the Wayfair "Lombarky" trophy – but more than that, they're hoping to find a loving, permanent home. In honor of the game's 20th anniversary, four previous Puppy Bowl players return to be inducted into the all-new Puppy Bowl Hall of Fame. In addition, one puppy player will be named MVP (Most Valuable Puppy), while another will walk away with the Subaru of America, Inc. Underdog Award.
SO YOU SAY THIS IS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY? Yes, it is! And to help with the big celebration, Animal Planet released two video compilations highlighting some of the best that Puppy Bowl has had to offer over the past twenty years – take a look!
