A new Superman sneak preview will be shown during the 2025 Puppy Bowl.

The annual Puppy Bowl is returning for its 21st year on Sunday, February 9, at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT. The event will be simulcast across Animal Planet, Discovery, TBS, truTV, Max, and Discovery+.

Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that this year’s Puppy Bowl will include a “special sneak peek” of Superman, which releases in July 2025.

Superman writer and director James Gunn and his dog, Ozu, will deliver a “special message” during the game. Additionally, one dog “who displays ‘super’ abilities” will be given a Krypto Super Play Award.

“Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl serves as an annual pop culture programming event that continues to expand in reach, awareness and of course, puppies, every year,” said U.S. Networks and Discovery Networks’ Howard Lee. “Win or lose, Puppy Bowl XXI will have the cutest players in the game on Sunday, February 9 and will inspire families across the country to adopt a new furry friend.”
