An annual tradition airs on television in February pitting two teams against each other to win a bowl game. Here’s how you can get free NFTs from players on the two teams.

What Happened: The annual Puppy Bowl returns with Puppy Bowl XVIII set to air on Animal Planet and streaming platform Discovery+, both owned by Discovery Communications (NASDAQ:DISCA)(NASDAQ:DISCK).

The game airs at 2 p.m. EST on Feb. 13 and serves as an annual tradition and precursor to the NFL’s Super Bowl, which airs at 6:30 p.m. EST on Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:CMCSA) unit NBC.

This year’s Puppy Bowl features non-fungible tokens for the first time ever, through a partnership with NFT studio and marketplace Chronicle.
