How much do players get paid for attending the Pro Bowl 2026?
Convincing superstar players to return to the field during their time off is never easy, so to make things easier and more tempting, they are well rewarded for their time and services.
Before the 2020 season, the NFL and the NFL Players Association reached an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The 2020 CBA defined how players would be compensated for their participation in the Pro Bowl through the 2030 NFL season. In 2026, Pro Bowl winners will receive $92,000 for their performance and losers will receive $46,000.
The 2020 collective bargaining agreement stipulates that Pro Bowl payments will increase each year, which is intended to incentivize participation by the league’s stars.
