The 2009 Pro Bowl was the National Football League's all-star game for the 2008 season. It was played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii on February 8, 2009. This was the most recent year that the game was held after the Super Bowl. The NFC defeated the AFC, 30–21.^[1]

The AFC was coached by Baltimore's John Harbaugh, while the NFC's coach was Philadelphia's Andy Reid.

This is the last game to be held one week after the Super Bowl, the last game where the coaching staffs were from the teams who lost their conference title games, and the last game where players of the two teams competing in the Super Bowl play in the Pro Bowl.
