Ja’Marr Chase voted to AFC team for 2026 Pro Bowl

The NFL today announced that Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase has been voted to the AFC team for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games.

Chase, who entered the NFL as a first-round draft pick of the Bengals in 2021, has been named a Pro Bowler in each of his first five seasons. He joins former WR A.J. Green (2011-15) as the only players in Bengals history to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of their first five years in the league. Chase additionally was voted as a starter at wide receiver for the second consecutive season.

A fifth-year player out of Louisiana State University, Chase ranks second in the NFL this season in receptions (110) and fourth in receiving yards (1256), while also recording five receiving TDs. He has totaled 100 or more receiving yards in seven games, the most in a single season in Bengals history. He recently became the fifth player in NFL history to reach the 1000-yard receiving mark in each of his first five seasons.

Chase is the sixth player in team history with at least five Pro Bowl selections in his Bengals career, joining OT Anthony Munoz (11 selections), DT Geno Atkins (eight), Green (seven), WR Chad Johnson (six) and CB Lemar Parrish (six).

Additionally, three Bengals have been voted as alternates for the AFC team. WR Tee Higgins is a second alternate, CB DJ Turner II is a third alternate, and WR Charlie Jones (kick return specialist) is a fifth alternate. Alternates are added to the event if voted players in their position group are unable to participate. Selections from the two teams reaching the Super Bowl will be among those unable to play, as will players who are not cleared due to injury.

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games take place on Tuesday, Feb. 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif., and will be televised live on ESPN.
