The 2008 AFC-NFC Pro Bowl, the NFL Pro Bowl in 2008 will be played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii on February 10, 2008. The game will be televised in the United States by the NFL on FOX.

The starting rosters for the game were released on December 18 2007, with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady starting for the AFC and the Green Bay Packers' Brett Favre for the NFC. Notable Pro Bowl selections include the late Sean Taylor. The Dallas Cowboys had a record thirteen players named to the Pro Bowl roster, while five teams, including all four members of the NFC South, had no players named, until Jeff Garcia was chosen as a replacement for Brett Favre. The AFC will be coached by Norv Turner and the San Diego Chargers staff, while Mike McCarthy and the staff of the Green Bay Packers will coach the NFC. Three Washington Redskins players (Chris Cooley, Chris Samuels and Ethan Albright) will wear #21 in memory of Taylor, their deceased teammate.
