The '''Premier League Hall of Fame''' is the [[hall of fame]] for [[association football]] players that have played in the [[Premier League]]. Inaugurated in 2020 but postponed for a year due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom]], the Hall of Fame is intended to recognise and honour players that have achieved great success, and made a significant contribution to the league since its [[Foundation of the Premier League|founding in 1992]].
The '''Premier League Hall of Fame''' aims to honour players who have shown exceptional skill at [[association football]], and have had a significant influence on the [[Premier League]]. Founded in 2021, it is an online-only entity, as opposed to the [[English Football Hall of Fame]], which has a physical location in [[Manchester]]. The Hall inducts between four and six new individuals each year, with each induction to be broadcast nationally on [[Sky Sports]].


For a player to be eligible on the ballot for Hall of Fame honours, he must be fully retired before the start of the rewarding season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.premierleague.com/hall-of-fame|title=Premier League Hall of Fame Announces Modifications to its Enshrinement Process Beginning with the Class of 2021 |work=Premier League Hall of Fame |access-date=April 26, 2021}}</ref> If a player retired for a short period, then his case and eligibility are reviewed on an individual basis. As part of the inaugural class of 2021, two players were inducted to the Hall - [[Alan Shearer]] and [[Thierry Henry]] - with six more set to be inducted based on the results of a public opinion poll.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alan Shearer & Thierry Henry inducted into Premier League Hall of Fame |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56884994 |website=BBC News |publisher=BBC |access-date=19 May 2021}}</ref>

Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry, the first players to be inducted.

The Premier League Hall of Fame aims to honour players who have shown exceptional skill at association football, and have had a significant influence on the Premier League. Founded in 2021, it is an online-only entity, as opposed to the English Football Hall of Fame, which has a physical location in Manchester. The Hall inducts between four and six new individuals each year, with each induction to be broadcast nationally on Sky Sports.

For a player to be eligible on the ballot for Hall of Fame honours, he must be fully retired before the start of the rewarding season.[1] If a player retired for a short period, then his case and eligibility are reviewed on an individual basis. As part of the inaugural class of 2021, two players were inducted to the Hall - Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry - with six more set to be inducted based on the results of a public opinion poll.[2]

Players must have retired before the start of the awarding season and are only judged on their domestic performances in the Premier League and no other competitions considered. Players must have made 250 appearances or if not satisfy one of the following:[3]
