PUPPY BOWL XIX PAWPRINT GROWS ACROSS WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY'S PLATFORMS

ANIMAL PLANET'S THREE-HOUR EVENT TO SIMULCAST FOR THE FIRST TIME ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL, TBS, HBO MAX & DISCOVERY+ ON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12 AT 2:00PM ET/11:00AM PT

Los Angeles/New York (January 25, 2023) - Puppy Bowl returns for its 19th year on Sunday, February 12, 2023, at 2:00PM ET / 11:00AM/PT, and for the first time will be simulcast across Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, TBS, HBO Max and discovery+ - a rare opportunity for new viewers to experience the original and longest running call-to-adoption TV event. This year's program will feature Bleacher Report host Taylor Rooks, sports commentator Steve Levy, Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson ("Married to Real Estate"), Faruq Tauheed ("Battlebots"), Zak Bagans ("Ghost Adventures"), Alex Guarnaschelli ("Supermarket Stakeout") along with talent from Discovery Channel's "Street Outlaws" franchise, New Line Cinema's upcoming film "Shazam! Fury of the Gods," and some of the biggest sports personalities from Warner Bros. Discovery Sports.

With more puppies and more inspiring adoption stories than ever before, Puppy Bowl XIX will highlight the incredible work of rescue and shelter workers who dedicate their lives to helping animals find their forever homes. Puppy Bowl XIX will feature 122 puppies, 67 shelters and rescues across 34 states -- and for the first-time will feature a Native American animal organization and a puppy player from Dominica, West Indies.

Puppy Bowl XIX will start with a pre-game show at 1:00PM ET/ 10:00AM PT to give audiences the inside scoop on the Puppy Bowl draft with exclusive interviews with coaches and players. Audiences will also learn more about each puppy player's breed mix and other unique traits from Wisdom Panel(TM) dog DNA test that could help determine which puppy player will have a furry leg-up on the field. The pre-game show will also provide a first-look at the ARM & HAMMER(TM) SLIDE(TM) Kitty Halftime Show.

The game kicks off when the PEDIGREE(R) Starting Lineup players take to the field and as the game progresses, it will be revealed which puppy player has what it takes to be named the BISSELL(R) MVP (Most Valuable Puppy) or to win the SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. Underdog Award.

Puppy Bowl referee Dan Schachner returns for his 12th year of overseeing the stumbles & tumbles and calling all the puppy penalties and touchdowns while sportscasters Steve Levy and Taylor Rooks return to provide play-by-play commentary. Audiences will also see the return of Puppy Bowl's 'Adoptable Pup' segments sponsored by PEDIGREE (R). Sprinkled throughout the program, 11 shelters from around the country will feature one of their puppies (and 3 shelters with kittens during KITTY HALF-TIME) that are all up for adoption during the game! Other fan-favorite elements return, including the Puppy Cheer Squad, the coveted water-bowl cam, the slo-mo cam, end zone pylon cameras to catch all the action, in addition to an all-new backstage look at the puppy players' red-carpet arrivals ahead of the game.

Also returning are the SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. "Pup Close and Personal" segments that share the back stories of the adorable star athletes. Viewers will meet Cooper, a Boston terrier/ boxer mix from Seattle Humane, who marks the Emerald City's debut in Puppy Bowl with a visit to the Seattle Seahawks' Training Camp where Defensive End Shelby Harris coaches Cooper on his signature moves, and Inya, a Chihuahua/ miniature Pinscher mix rescued by the Phoenix-based NAGI Foundation working to restore the sacredness of the Native American community by uniting people and animals.

During the game, audiences will also meet eleven special needs puppy players looking for their forever homes that will include Julius, a hearing-impaired Dalmatian, Marmalade, a sight and hearing-impaired Border Collie/ Australian Cattle Dog; Mykonos, a American Staffordshire Terrier/ Bulldog with a cleft palate, among others.

Official Puppy Bowl XIX sponsors include BISSELL(R), WAYFAIR(R), ARM & HAMMER(TM) SLIDE(TM), NEXGARD(R), The PEDIGREE(R) brand, SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC., TEMPTATIONS(TM), and WISDOM PANEL(TM) pet DNA test.
