Puppy Bowl: What Channel is Animal Planet?
Where can you find Animal Planet on major cable providers like DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable for the annual Puppy Bowl?
Are you more excited for Animal Planet’s annual ‘Puppy Bowl’ than the NFL’s Super Bowl? We are too! There’s nothing more enjoyable than watching a group of cute shelter pups playing in a mock stadium with humorous NFL commentary. And that’s why we want to make sure you don’t miss out on the cuteness overload this upcoming Sunday, Feb. 5 at 3 p.m. ET!
This year’s starting lineup consists of 78 puppies from 34 rescue organizations throughout the United States. These adorable puppies are divided between Team Ruff and Team Fluff. And, each team of furry competitors will play for the ‘Lombarki Trophy’, a plush fire hydrant whose summit sports a stuffed football, courtesy of PetCo.
‘Puppy Bowl Xlll’ is narrated by sportscaster Scott Graham, who is best known for his play-by-play broadcasts of the Philadelphia Phillies. Also, viewers will be treated to the traditional Kitty Half-Time Show, which features a 30-minute presentation of kittens playing with toys, laser pens and balls of yarn.
