Meet the 2024 Great American Rescue Bowl puppies and kittens

Here's some paw-some news for the day: The Great American Rescue Bowl is back this year for more cuteness overload, and EW has the exclusive full lineup reveal.

Hailing from Great American Family Channel and North Shore Animal League America — the world's largest no-kill rescue and adoption organization — the Rescue Bowl will of course feature adorable playmaking on the field, but ultimately seeks to raise awareness of the importance of animal adoption.

This year's second annual event will see two teams named the Cuddlers and the Adorables — a mix of kittens and puppies — face off. The first half of the game will be played by the kittens of each squad, and the second half will be played by the puppies.

Team Adorables hope to put their best paws forward and melt your heart with an arsenal of playful tactics, and will be led by Meoshawn Lynch and Whiskers Wilson. Meanwhile Team Cuddlers, featuring Christian McCattery and Saquon Barks, is ready to dominate the field and showcase some fur-tastic cuddly action, per the event's official website.

Hosted once again by Beth Stern, the Great American Rescue Bowl airs on Great American Family Channel on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 11, from noon-2 p.m. ET. Without fur-ther ado, here are the puppies and kittens taking the field this year.
