Before you sit down to watch the Philadelphia Eagles play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, there is a much more adorable game that should be on your watch list: and that's Puppy Bowl XIV. Animal Planet has recruited a brand new batch of puppies to participate in the annual fluff fest, and you can get to know all the 2018 Puppy Bowl puppies, ranked by cuteness for your enjoyment.
This year, 39 puppies were recruited to join the starting lineup of Team Fluff and Team Ruff, with 90 puppies total joining the game. Every Puppy Bowl puppy is available for adoption, coming from 48 shelters in 25 different states and territories, including puppies rescued from post-hurricane Puerto Rico and Florida. Puppy Bowl XIV will have the largest number of puppies ever, and while all of them are cute, some of them are just cuter than others.
Granted, taste in puppies is fully dependent on the human, and we can all agree that every puppy is deserving of our endless love and belly rubs, but, alas, this is a competition, and the dogs of Team Ruff and Team Fluff are all fierce competitors. The 2018 Puppy Bowl puppies want us to rank them from most cute to least cute — just look at their little faces! And who are we to deny them?
