Kelly will make history as the first woman to host the award show, which debuted in 2012. Past hosts include Steve Harvey, Alec Baldwin, Conan O’Brien and Seth Meyers, among other stars.
This year’s award show will take broadcast live from Symphony Hall in Phoenix, Ariz., on Feb. 9. The Associated Press’ annual accolades – including AP Most Valuable Player – will be awarded, as will the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year.
The award show will come just three days before Super Bowl LVII, which will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
The NFL Honors, presented by Invisalign, will air live Thursday, Feb. 9 at 9/8c on NBC, NFL Network and Peacock, with the NFL Honors red carpet show airing at 8/7c on NFL Network.
