A Shift in Tradition and Broadcasting
The 11th annual ceremony marked several significant departures from previous NFL Honors traditions. For the first time in the event's history, the presentation was held on a Thursday rather than the customary Saturday.
Broadcasting Milestones
The television coverage for the 2022 event was distributed across ABC and the NFL Network, with streaming available via ESPN+. This arrangement was particularly notable because it completed a broadcasting milestone: all of the "Big Four" television networks have now aired the NFL Honors at least once.
Typically, the ceremony is broadcast by the network responsible for airing that year's Super Bowl. However, because NBC—the Super Bowl broadcaster for that cycle—was occupied with the 2022 Winter Olympics, the league shifted the broadcast to ABC and its affiliates.
