According to a press release, from the NFL, the fan voting for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games concluded on Dec. 15. Kelce topped the list for the second consecutive season while Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen landed solely in second place.

The fan vote plays a significant role in the determining which players take part in the Pro Bowl Games. This group accounts for one-third. The coach and player votes make up the rest of the formula.

The fan vote top five also included New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, and Chicago Bears safety Kevin Byard.

The NFL also announced that the Chicago Bears led all teams in the fan vote. Other top teams included the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Detroit Lions.

Along with confirming that Kelce led the fan vote, the NFL shared the AFC's and NFC's top-voted players at each position. For example, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor and Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift led their respective conferences.

Other leading the fan vote included Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons, Houston Texans safety Calen Bullock, Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker, Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase, and Seattle Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games will take place later than normal this year. Instead of taking over the Sunday between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl, the exhibition event will move to the Tuesday before Super Bowl LX.

The flag football game between AFC and NFC all-stars will take place at San Francisco's Moscone Center South Building on Tuesday, Feb. 3. ESPN coverage will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET and then the football game will take place at 8 p.m. ET. Jerry Rice (NFC) and Steve Young (AFC) will serve as coaches.
