The Hall of Fame recognises and celebrates individuals who have an exceptional record of success and have shown significant contribution in the Premier League since its inception in 1992. It is the highest honour awarded to individuals by the League.
The Premier League Hall of Fame exists online with content dedicated to celebrating the careers of those who have been inducted.
The Hall of Fame launched in 2021, with inaugural inductees: David Beckham, Dennis Bergkamp, Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry, Roy Keane, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Alan Shearer.
In 2022, Sergio Agüero, Didier Drogba, Vincent Kompany, Wayne Rooney, Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, Patrick Vieira and Ian Wright were inducted.
In 2023, for the first time, managers were inducted into the Hall of Fame with Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger being the first two entered alongside three players - Rio Ferdinand, Petr Cech and Tony Adams.
A shortlist of 15 nominees will be announced on Premier League digital channels from 12:00 BST on Monday 25 March. Fans around the world are once again invited to vote for two former Premier League players to join the Hall of Fame, in collaboration with the Premier League Awards Panel and previously inducted Hall of Fame members. Fans can vote at www.premierleague.com/halloffame and via the Premier League app. The 2024 online vote will be open until 12:00 BST on Monday 8 April, with the chosen inductees unveiled on Monday 22 April.
In 2024, the Premier League Hall of Fame will welcome three new inductees. One individual has been selected by the Premier League due to their achievements and outstanding contribution to the League. He will be announced at 12:00 BST on Monday 25 March. Two more inductees will be voted into the Hall of Fame from a shortlist of 15.
The Hall of Fame was launched in 2021 and 19 players have already been inducted, along with two managers. The Premier League consulted with members of the Awards Panel before taking the decision to reduce entry numbers this season. Numbers of inductees may vary each season.
New players become eligible each season upon their retirement from football. A number of other factors are also taken into account by the Premier League and the League’s Awards Panel, including: prior voting data for players included in previous Hall of Fame shortlists; eras; player positions and achievements. Each player will be considered according to these factors when compiling all future shortlists.
