The Premier League Hall of Fame official announcement – 8 September 2025:

When does voting close?

Voting closes on Monday 15 September.

How are players shortlisted?

Entry on to the shortlist takes into account the Premier League career statistics of players who meet the Hall of Fame selection criteria, and voting data from previous Hall of Fame shortlists.

Career achievements considered include individual and team honours, and a player’s total Premier League appearances, goals, assists and clean sheets.

Who is eligible?

To be eligible for this year’s Premier League Hall of Fame, players must have been retired by 1 January 2025, and only a player’s Premier League career is considered in their candidacy, not their performances in other competitions during the Premier League era.

The Premier League has today opened a public vote (HERE) which will help to determine the two legendary former players who will join its Hall of Fame in 2025.

The Hall of Fame recognises and celebrates individuals who have an exceptional record of success and have made a significant contribution to the Premier League since its inception in 1992. It is the highest individual honour awarded by the League.

The results of the fan poll will be presented to the existing 24 Premier League Hall of Fame members – including Sir Alex Ferguson, Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer – who will then cast their votes to decide who is inducted in 2025.

The two new inductees will be announced and celebrated at an exclusive event on Tuesday 4 November.
