NFL Honors Viewing Guide: Nominees, When/Where to Watch & More

Hosted by Snoop Dogg and set to kick-off on FOX and the NFL Network at 8 pm ET, here's our viewing guide for tonight's NFL Honors.

With only days to go until the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles battle it out during Super Bowl LIX to see who walks away with championship hardware, tonight is the night to honor the NFL's best people, performances, and plays – and much more – from the 2024 football season with the 2025 edition of NFL Honors. With that in mind, we have a look at what you need to know to get in on the festivities – from when and where to watch to who's hosting to a rundown of who's up for what awards. In addition, we have a look at what ESPN's Pat McAfee and his team had to say about fans' reactions to the finalists.

What Time is FOX's "NFL Honors" & How Can I Check It Out? The event will air LIVE beginning at 9 pm ET/8 pm CT (with the NFL Honors Red Carpet Show beginning at 8 pm ET). The main event can be watched on FOX and the NFL Network and streamed on NFL+ and Fubo (and the red carpet pre-show will air on the NFL Network). Just a quick note: the event will not be airing live in all time zones, and the pre-show red carpet is subject to local blackout restrictions).

Who's Hosting FOX's "NFL Honors" & Where's It Taking Place? Multi-talent Snoop Dogg will be on hand to host the event, which is taking place at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans (home to Super Bowl LIX).

NFL Honors 2025: Here Are Your Nominees

NFL Honors debuted in 2012 and features the announcement of awards – including The Associated Press' annual accolades, the prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year presented by Nationwide, and the newest Pro Football Hall of Fame Class – during the week leading up to the Super Bowl.

The Associated Press: Considered to be the NFL's official awards, the eight categories include Most Valuable Player, which the AP began selecting in the 1950s, Coach of the Year, Assistant Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Defensive Rookie of the Year. A nationwide panel of 50 media members wrapped up their voting prior to the start of the playoffs, with each voter selecting a top five for each award.
