Before football fans turn their attention to Super Bowl LIX, there’s one more main event to watch: the 2025 NFL Honors.

The NFL Honors is an opportunity to recognize standout players across the league with awards for exceptional performance on and off the field.

This year’s event will be hosted by Snoop Dogg in New Orleans at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, February 6th. Here’s more information about the nominees, voting process, and how to watch the 2025 NFL Honors.

How are the NFL Honors Finalists Picked?

Finalists were determined through The AP’s voting system, which is made up of a nationwide panel of 50 sports journalists who cover the NFL.

Votes were submitted at the end of the regular season, meaning postseason performance does not impact the results. Participants were asked to rank their top five picks for MVP and top three picks for the other awards.

Who Are This Year’s NFL Honors Nominees?

These are the nominees for the NFL Honors awards based on on-field performance.

The event will also include the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award, selected from a group of 32 nominees who have made a significant positive impact off the football field.
