The 1989 Pro Bowl was the NFL's 39th annual all-star game which featured the outstanding performers from the 1988 season. The game was played on Sunday, January 29, 1989, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii before a crowd of 50,113. The final score was NFC 34, AFC 3.[1][2]

Marv Levy of the Buffalo Bills led the AFC team against an NFC team coached by Chicago Bears head coach Mike Ditka.[3] The referee was Ben Dreith.[2]

Randall Cunningham of the Philadelphia Eagles was named the game's MVP.[3] Players on the winning NFC team received $10,000 apiece while the AFC participants each took home $5,000.[4]

It was the last Pro Bowl game played in the month of January for two decades, until the 2010 Pro Bowl.[citation needed]
