[2] On December 20, 2023, the league announced the skills competitions for both days, with a tug of war added to the program.

The High Stakes event replaced the Lightning Round, reducing the previous year's three-part challenge to just the competition where players attempt to catch punts.

In addition, the Madden NFL Head-to-Head event, in which two players from each conference play the Madden NFL video game using the Pro Bowl rosters, counted as part of the skill competitions instead of just being an exhibition event for the past few years.

[3][4] The first set of skills competitions were held on Thursday, February 1, 2024, at Nicholson Fieldhouse at the University of Central Florida.

[6][9] Precision Passing was an accuracy competition in which each quarterback from both conferences attempts to hit as many targets as possible in one minute.

[10] High Stakes was a multi-round competition in which players attempted to catch the most punts from a JUGS machine, without dropping other balls.

This was a pre-recorded segment held at the par-3, 18th hole of the Hawk's Landing Golf Course at the Orlando World Center Marriott Hotel.

[6] Bryan Anger (NFC) won the event on his second attempt with a shot that landed 2 feet from the hole.

[10] Dodgeball was played by 4 teams of five players representing defensive and offensive selections from each conference.

[10] Each team's kicker played a version of tic-tac-toe where they kicked balls towards a giant board.

Two players from each conference played the Madden NFL 24 video game using the official Pro Bowl rosters.

[6] The actual game was played live on Saturday, February 3, and streamed on YouTube and Twitch.

A fan vote was run to determine who had the best catches, with the results announced on Sunday and the points added during halftime between the two Gridiron Gauntlet games.
