When are the NFL Awards Announced? Full schedule

For NFL players, nothing compares to the thrill of seeing the confetti fall as their team is declared Super Bowl champions. Unfortunately, this is an accomplishment that most players will not achieve in their football careers. For the best and most notable players in the league, earning a prestigious award at the NFL Honors ceremony has to be the next best thing.

The NFL Honors ceremony debuted back in 2012, but the Associated Press has been voting on awards much longer. Some of the most notable annual awards include Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and, of course, Most Valuable Player.

With the league growing in terms of fanbase and popularity each year, the NFL Honors ceremony has been a nationally televised event for over a decade, and millions will tune in to see if one of their favorite players will be recognized. Here's everything you need to know about the NFL awards schedule this year, according to NFL.com.

When is the NFL Awards ceremony?

The 12th annual NFL awards ceremony will be held on Thursday, February 9th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This will be the Thursday before the Super Bowl. The NFL Honors ceremony will take place at Symphony Hall in Phoenix, as the Super Bowl will be played three days later in Las Vegas, Nevada.

How to watch the NFL Honors ceremony

NFL Honors have routinely been held by a different broadcast network each year. This year, you can catch the NFL awards ceremony by tuning in to your local NBC station at 9:00 p.m. ET on Thursday.
