Watching the Pet Bowl earlier than the Tremendous Bowl is a yearly custom in my family, and it is at all times an entertaining time. Whether or not the present is poking enjoyable at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, or simply dropping details about lovely pets, it is one in every of my favourite occasions on the 2025 TV schedule. Now it is develop into a must-watch after an thrilling and wild cross-promotion it can have with the James Gunn’s Superman film.
Sure, the premiere canine occasion of the yr will collaborate with the upcoming DC film in a method that I am undecided that anybody noticed coming. In the course of the occasion, James Gunn and his canine Ozu will give a particular presentation that can embody a sneak peek on the Superman film. Now the Pet Bowl can even have can’t-miss commercials and trailers, so those that don’t have anything to do earlier than the Tremendous Bowl ought to make a degree to test it out.
Along with the particular sneak peek that I am thrilled about after seeing the astonishing first Superman trailer, a particular honor can be given out on the Pet Bowl as nicely. The canine that shows essentially the most “tremendous” skills can be gifted the Krypto Tremendous Play award, which is called after the Man of Metal’s tremendous canine. No phrase on whether or not the actual Krypto who seems within the film can be on the occasion, however the stars do at all times appear to point out up for these huge sporting occasions.
For these curious however by no means watched, don’t be concerned, the Pet Bowl airs forward of the Tremendous Bowl. The enjoyable kicks off this yr at 1:00 p.m. ET on Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, TBS, TruTV, Max, and Discovery+ with a pregame present and can go on for 3 hours following kickoff at 2:00 p.m. ET. With over 142 rescue canine featured within the occasion, it is one of many most-hyped adoption efforts of the yr.
Additionally, if you happen to love cats, they get the highlight within the halftime present! I am not going to take a seat right here and promise it will likely be as entertaining as Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming halftime efficiency throughout the Tremendous Bowl, however I can wager it will likely be an excellent deal cuter. With that, plus the footage of Superman that I am positive we’re all dying to see, that is the yr to take a look at the Pet Bowl.
Sadly, we nonetheless have a while to attend till Superman is in theaters. It will likely be good to see a contemporary tackle the franchise, particularly after the combined reception to motion pictures like Batman v. Superman: Daybreak Of Justice lessened curiosity within the character and damage the careers of actors like Jesse Eisenberg. We’ll see what followers assume after the film, when it arrives this summer season.
As talked about, the Pet Bowl will kick off on a number of networks on Sunday, February eighth, starting at 1:00 p.m. ET with the preshow. I do know I will be watching to see that Superman footage, and I am positive many others will do the identical.
