NFL Hall of Fame ceremony 2021: How to watch Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson, others get inducted

After a year-long hiatus, Enshrinement Week at the Pro Football Hall of Fame is back in full force. The Steelers and Cowboys already squared off in the 2021 Hall of Fame Game. Next up is the induction of the honorees into the Hall of Fame.

In 2021, there will be more inductees than ever before. The 2020 Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the class of 2020 will be honored along with the class of 2021.

Further adding to the excitement, the NFL’s class of 2020 features a whopping 20 inductees. It was part of the NFL’s centennial celebration, so 15 candidates were selected for enshrinement along with the five that were voted in that year.

All told, 28 players will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame over the weekend. Chief among them will be Peyton Manning, and his speech is surely something that NFL fans want to see.
