Electronic Arts has announced a virtual Pro Bowl event for Madden NFL 22, and the company is trying to set a world record during the event for the largest projected video game display ever as part of it.

The NFL Pro Bowl: Madden NFL 22 Edition will be broadcast on Saturday, February 5, one day before the real Pro Bowl takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Derwin James of the San Diego Chargers and Nick Chubb from the Cleveland Browns will play Madden against Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys and Justin Jefferson from the Minnesota Vikings for the title. They are going for a Guinness World Record by playing their game on the "largest projected video game display" ever, located on the Vegas strip. Check out a teaser below.

Charissa Thompson will once again host the event, with Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson and last year's virtual Pro Bowl winner, Marshawn Lynch, calling the action. You can watch the game on Saturday, February 6, starting at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET on the NFL's YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook pages, as well as through the Madden NFL Twitch account and on the iHeartRadio App.

Due to COVID, last year's Pro Bowl was canceled, and the event instead took place virtually through Madden. This year, there is both the virtual Pro Bowl and the real game on the field on the same weekend.
