The 2026 American League and National League MVP winners have not been named yet. The Baseball Writers' Association of America, which votes on the awards, said the MVP winners will be announced on Thursday, November 12, 2026, in a show that begins at 7 p.m. ET on MLB Network. Until then, the most recent winners are from the 2025 season: Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees in the American League and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League.

When the 2026 MVP winners are announced

The association's awards index lists "Nov. 12" in the MVP column for both leagues in 2026. MLB.com's awards calendar lists the MVP announcement for November 12 at 7 p.m. ET on MLB Network and MLB+.

The 2026 MVP finalists

The association listed the top three finishers for each award in alphabetical order, so the order below says nothing about who finished first.

The same page said that voting took place before the start of the postseason.

Who won the 2025 AL MVP

Aaron Judge won the 2025 American League MVP, the association reported on November 13, 2025. It was his third MVP award and his second in a row. Judge received 17 first-place votes and 355 points. Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners received 13 first-place votes and 335 points, and José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians was third with 224 points. The association said it was the closest MVP race since 2019.

Who won the 2025 NL MVP

Shohei Ohtani won the 2025 National League MVP by a unanimous vote, the association reported on November 13, 2025. He received all 30 first-place votes and 420 points. Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies was second with 260 points and Juan Soto of the New York Mets was third with 231 points.

It was Ohtani's fourth MVP award and his second straight in the National League. He won in the American League in 2021 and 2023, and the association said all four of his wins were unanimous.

How MVP voting works

Two writers in each league city cast ballots, according to the association's 2025 results. A first-place vote is worth 14 points, second place is worth nine, third place is worth eight, and the values step down to one point for 10th place.

This page will be updated at this address when the 2026 winners are announced.

Cam Schlittler of the New York Yankees won the 2026 American League Cy Young Award and Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers won the 2026 National League Cy Young Award, in results the Baseball Writers' Association of America posted on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Both right-handers were unanimous choices, each receiving all 30 first-place votes and 210 points.

The association said this is only the third time the Cy Young winners in both leagues were unanimous. The other years were 2022, when Justin Verlander won in the American League and Sandy Alcantara in the National League, and 1968, when Denny McLain and Bob Gibson won.

2026 American League voting

The American League results list nine pitchers who received votes. MLB.com published the same point totals.

Schlittler, Cease, Messick and Rasmussen were named on every ballot. Cease received 22 second-place votes, and the association said it was his second runner-up finish, after he placed second in 2022 with the Chicago White Sox. Schlittler's win was the seventh by a Yankees pitcher.

2026 National League voting

The National League results list seven pitchers who received votes.

Misiorowski, Sanchez and Sale were listed on every ballot. Sanchez was the runner-up for the second year in a row. Misiorowski is the second Brewers pitcher to win the award in the National League, after Corbin Burnes in 2021. Rollie Fingers in 1981 and Pete Vuckovich in 1982 won it for the Brewers when the team played in the American League.

Who won the Cy Young Award in 2025?

Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers won the 2025 American League award, his second in a row, with 26 of 30 first-place votes and 198 points. Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates won the 2025 National League award unanimously with 210 points.

How the Cy Young voting works

Members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America vote, with two writers representing each city in a league, which makes 30 ballots for each league's award. The association has used a five-player ballot for the Cy Young Award since 2010. MLB.com describes the point system as seven points for first place, four for second, three for third, two for fourth and one for fifth, so 210 points is the maximum. Ballots were submitted before the start of the postseason.

Kevin McGonigle of the Detroit Tigers won the 2026 American League Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year award, and Sal Stewart of the Cincinnati Reds won the National League award. The Baseball Writers' Association of America, whose members vote on the award, published both results on November 9, 2026.

How the 2026 vote came out

McGonigle received 28 of the 30 first-place votes in the American League balloting, and Parker Messick of the Guardians received the other two. The association said McGonigle and Messick were the only players named on every American League ballot.

Stewart received 20 of the 30 first-place votes in the National League balloting. Carson Benge of the Mets received seven and JJ Wetherholt of the Cardinals received three. The association said Stewart was the only player listed on every National League ballot.

Who the winners are

McGonigle is an infielder who split his season between two positions. The association's report said he played 96 games at shortstop and 94 games at third base, and was a designated hitter in five games. He is the sixth Tigers player to win the award. MLB.com reported that Detroit selected him 37th overall in the 2023 Draft.

Stewart is a first baseman who hit 32 home runs and drove in 112 runs, according to the association's report. He is the ninth Reds player to win the award, and the most recent before him was Jonathan India in 2021. MLB.com reported that Stewart played in all 162 games and that the Reds selected him with the 32nd overall pick in the 2022 Draft.

How the voting works

Each league's award is decided by 30 ballots, submitted by two writers representing each city in that league, and the association publishes every writer's ballot with the result. Ballots were cast before postseason play. A first-place vote is worth seven points, second place four, third place three, fourth place two and fifth place one.

The association scheduled the announcement for November 9 in a show starting at 7 p.m. Eastern time on MLB Network. The same schedule lists the Most Valuable Player awards for November 12.

Recent winners

The association's award history lists these winners for the last three seasons.

The award is named for Jackie Robinson, whom the association lists as the very first winner, in 1947.

Jordan Love leads the NFL in passing yards this season with 2,618, according to the league's player stats page for the 2026 regular season. Bijan Robinson leads in rushing yards with 880, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads in receiving yards with 1,036.

Which games the figures run through

The stats pages do not print a week or a date. The figures here were read early on Thursday, November 12, 2026. At that time the league's Week 9 schedule listed all 15 Week 9 games as final, from Jaguars 33, Ravens 10 on Thursday, November 5, to Bills 23, Vikings 6 on Monday, November 9. No Week 10 game had been played: the Week 10 schedule opens with Commanders at Giants on Thursday, November 12. The full list of games is in the NFL schedule this week.

Passing leaders

The top five in passing yards are below, with each player's touchdown passes from the same table.

Sorted by touchdown passes, Joe Burrow is first with 23, followed by Kirk Cousins with 20 and Jordan Love with 19. Burrow's passer rating on that table is 114.8 and his completion rate is 74 percent.

Rushing leaders

The top five in rushing yards are separated by 66 yards.

D'Andre Swift leads in rushing touchdowns with 10.

Receiving leaders

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the only player listed above 1,000 receiving yards.

Trey McBride leads in receptions with 73.

Defense and kicking leaders

Each leader below is the top row of the league's table for that category: combined tackles, sacks, interceptions and field goals made.

Pro Bowl voting has three groups of voters, fans, NFL players and NFL coaches, and the roster is "determined through an equal-weighted voting process among players, coaches and fans," the NFL said in its announcement of the new Pro Bowl format. Beginning with the 2026 season, that vote selects 88 players, with no replacement selections, according to the same announcement.

What changed for the 2026 season

The NFL said it will no longer stage an AFC against NFC Pro Bowl game. The voting stays. In place of the game, the league said it will put more emphasis on the moment a player is selected.

• The class is limited to the 88 players originally selected.
• The roster will be revealed in late December across NFL, club, social and broadcast partner platforms.
• The league said it will bring the class together in Los Angeles during the traditional Pro Bowl weekend for an in-person celebration.
• A selection will carry a visible recognition on the player's uniform.

The announcement does not give the dates of the fan vote for the 2026 season. It said more details on the roster reveal will be announced at a later date. The NFL's Pro Bowl vote page still carries the title of the previous vote and said on November 12, 2026, that the ballot is closed.

How each group's vote counts

A release on the most recent completed vote, published by the New England Patriots, said selections are determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group's vote counting as one-third. The fan vote alone therefore does not decide who is selected, because the players and the coaches together hold two-thirds of the result.

The same release said the NFL is the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its Pro Bowl teams.

How the last fan vote ran

The release for the vote held during the 2025 season set out this timetable. It is the most recent completed vote, and in it the fans voted first and the players and coaches voted after the fan vote closed.

Fans could vote as often as they liked, according to that release, and the ways to vote it listed included these:

• Social voting. Fans could vote on X by posting a player's first and last name, tagging the player's official handle, or creating a hashtag with the player's first and last name. Each post had to include #ProBowlVote or the words Pro Bowl Vote.
• Madden Mobile. Fans could vote in Madden NFL 26 Mobile with up to 30 Ballot Tokens per day.
• Double votes. Social votes and Madden Mobile votes counted double during the final two days, December 14 and 15.

The Super Bowl comes after

The date and place of the Super Bowl are on the page When is the Super Bowl?

This page will be updated at this address when the NFL posts the dates of the fan vote for the 2026 season.

No. The NFL announced on August 26, 2026 that it will no longer stage an AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl game, beginning with the 2026 season. Players are still named to the Pro Bowl, so the honor continues without a game attached to it. NBC Sports Bay Area reported the same decision that day.

What replaces the game

The league's announcement said the Pro Bowl will center on the selection itself and on gathering the selected players to celebrate it. The same page lists what happens instead of a game.

Because there are no replacement selections, the 88 players named in December are the whole class, and no one is added afterward.

Peter O'Reilly, the NFL executive vice president who oversees league events, said in the announcement: "A Pro Bowl selection will return to its original purpose, honoring the best of the best."

What the NFL has not announced yet

The announcement gives no exact day for the roster reveal or for the Los Angeles celebration. It said more details on the celebration, the roster reveal, the player recognition and the flag football programming will be announced at a later date. The Los Angeles area also hosts the Super Bowl this season, and the date and place are on the page When is the Super Bowl?.

Flag football in Los Angeles

The league said in the same announcement that flag football events will take place across Pro Bowl weekend and Super Bowl week in Los Angeles, including a showcase of the professional flag league the NFL is creating with TMRW Sports. The NFL said the Pro Bowl and flag football serve distinct purposes, and the announcement does not describe any of them as an AFC vs. NFC game. Flag football makes its Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, according to the same page.

The last Pro Bowl game

The last one was a flag football game at the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco during Super Bowl week. The NFC beat the AFC 66 to 52 after trailing 52 to 36 in the third quarter, according to the NFL's recap. That was the fourth annual Pro Bowl Games, and the NFC won all four, the same recap said.

This page will be updated at this address when the league announces the roster and the date of the Los Angeles celebration.

The National Football League schedule this week is Week 10 of the 2026 season, with 14 games from Thursday, November 12, through Monday, November 16, 2026, according to the league's Week 10 schedule. The first game is the Washington Commanders at the New York Giants on Thursday at 8:15 p.m. Eastern time on Prime Video, the league's Week 10 viewing guide shows.

The tables below give every kickoff in Eastern time, as the viewing guide lists them. The visiting team is named first, following the Week 10 schedule.

Thursday, November 12

Sunday, November 15

The league's viewing guide says "Sunday afternoon games are available in local markets only", so the CBS or FOX game a viewer gets depends on where the viewer lives.

Monday, November 16

The game in Munich

The New England Patriots and the Detroit Lions play in Munich, Germany, on Sunday, November 15, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. The league's schedule announcement in May put the game at the FC Bayern Munich Stadium, and the Week 10 schedule lists the Lions as the home team.

The league's own pages give two different channels for this game. The Week 10 schedule and the schedule announcement list FOX, and the viewing guide lists NFL Network. The viewing guide also says the game streams on mobile with NFL+.

Which teams are off this week

Four teams have a bye in Week 10, the Week 10 schedule shows: the Chicago Bears, the Denver Broncos, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A bye is a week in which a team has no game. The league's schedule announcement said byes "will begin in Week 5 and end in Week 14."

How to stream the games

The Thursday game streams on Prime Video. The Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night games and the Munich game can also be streamed on mobile with NFL+, the league's viewing guide says.

Later in the season

The league posts its schedule on its schedule page. Factsdesk has separate pages for the Thanksgiving games, the Christmas games and the Super Bowl.

This page is updated at this address each week with the new slate, and sooner if the league changes a kickoff time or a channel.

The 2026 NFL trade deadline was Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and it has passed. The league's calendar of important dates says, under November 10, "All trading ends for 2026 at 4:00 p.m., New York time." Teams cannot trade players with each other again until the next trading period opens in March 2027.

Key trade dates

Both dates come from the NFL's important dates page, which gives each time as New York time.

The same page lists no trade deadline date for the 2027 season.

When teams can trade again

The league's important dates page says the trading period for 2027 begins at 4:00 p.m. New York time on March 11, 2027, after all 2026 contracts expire. That is the same moment the 2027 league year and the free agency signing period begin.

What changed the day after the deadline

One waiver rule changed the next day. Starting November 11, the important dates page says, players with at least four previous pension-credited seasons are subject to the waiver system for the rest of the regular season and the postseason.

Trades made before the 2026 deadline

The NFL's transactions page for November 2026 lists 12 players as traded from November 6 to November 10. Nine of those entries are dated November 10, the day of the deadline. The page lists players and teams and does not list the draft picks involved.

Why the deadline falls in early November

NFL owners approved an amendment that moved the 2024 trading deadline to the Tuesday after Week 9 games, according to the league's report on the vote, which said the deadline had previously been the Tuesday after Week 8. The Pittsburgh Steelers submitted the rule, and it put the 2024 deadline on November 5.

The 2026 deadline came two days before the first game of Week 10: the NFL's Week 10 schedule opens with the Washington Commanders at the New York Giants on Thursday, November 12.

The next game: Packers at Rams on Thanksgiving Eve

The Packers visit the Rams on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, at 8 p.m. Eastern time in Week 12, and the NFL's schedule announcement calls it the first game the league has played on Thanksgiving Eve. The league's Week 12 schedule lists the game at 8:00 PM on Netflix. Netflix's schedule page, last updated on September 11, 2026, places the game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and still shows its kickoff time as to be announced.

The three games on Thanksgiving Day itself are on CBS, FOX and NBC and are not on Netflix. They are listed in What NFL games are on Thanksgiving?

The two Christmas Day games

Netflix streams two games on Friday, December 25, 2026, according to its schedule page. The Packers play the Bears at Soldier Field in Chicago at 1 p.m. Eastern time, and the Bills play the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time. The NFL's schedule announcement said 2026 is the third consecutive season with two Christmas Day games on Netflix, and it places both in Week 16.

The Christmas Day games are covered in What NFL games are on Christmas?

The Week 18 game on January 9, 2027

The last Netflix game of the regular season is on Saturday, January 9, 2027, at 1 p.m. Eastern time, and Netflix's schedule page lists its matchup as to be announced. The NFL's Week 18 schedule says three games will be played that Saturday, at 1:00 PM ET on Netflix and at 4:30 PM ET and 8:00 PM ET on ESPN/ABC, and that the dates, start times and networks for Week 18 matchups will be announced after Week 17 ends.

The game already played: 49ers and Rams in Melbourne

The first Netflix game of the season was the Week 1 meeting of the Rams and the 49ers on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, with an 8:35 p.m. Eastern time kickoff, according to Netflix's schedule page. The 49ers won 27 to 7, according to the league's Week 1 schedule. The NFL's schedule announcement described it as the first regular season NFL game played in Australia.

How the games are shown

Each remaining game on Netflix's schedule page is listed as live on Netflix. The same page says Netflix's NFL games in 2026 stream in more than 200 countries and are available to Netflix subscribers in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German.

This page will be updated at this address when the league names the teams for the January 9 game or changes a kickoff time.

The NFL has three games on Christmas Day, Friday, December 25, 2026, according to the league's schedule by week: the Green Bay Packers at the Chicago Bears, the Buffalo Bills at the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Rams at the Seattle Seahawks. The first two are on Netflix and the third is on FOX.

Christmas Day games and kickoff times

The same schedule gives the local kickoff times, which matter for anyone going to a game. The game in Chicago starts at 12:00 p.m. Central time, the game in Denver starts at 2:30 p.m. Mountain time and the game in Seattle starts at 5:15 p.m. Pacific time.

All three games are part of Week 16 of the regular season. The league's article on the Christmas games lists the same three matchups, kickoff times and outlets.

Which games are on Netflix

Netflix has the first two games of the day, so those two are streamed and are not listed on a broadcast network in the league schedule. In its schedule announcement on May 14, 2026, the NFL said Netflix will stream two Christmas Day games "for the third consecutive season," with the Packers visiting the Bears and the Broncos hosting the Bills.

The night game between the Rams and the Seahawks is the only one of the three on a broadcast network. The league schedule lists it on FOX.

Games on the days around Christmas

The Week 16 schedule also has football on the day before and the day after.

• Thursday, December 24: the Houston Texans visit the Philadelphia Eagles at 8:15 p.m. Eastern time. The schedule lists the game under the abbreviation AMZ with an asterisk, and its note says select prime time games are subject to change.
• Saturday, December 26: two games are scheduled for 4:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, listed under the abbreviation NFLN. The schedule published on May 14 does not name the teams. It lists four Week 16 matchups with the date, time and network still to be decided: Buccaneers at Falcons, Bengals at Colts, Commanders at Vikings and Panthers at Steelers.

This page will be updated at this address if the league changes a Christmas Day kickoff time or outlet.

The National Football League plays three games on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 2026: the Chicago Bears at the Detroit Lions at 1 p.m. Eastern time on CBS, the Philadelphia Eagles at the Dallas Cowboys at 4:30 p.m. on FOX, and the Kansas City Chiefs at the Buffalo Bills at 8:20 p.m. on NBC, according to the league's schedule announcement. The league's Week 12 schedule lists the same three games for that Thursday.

Thanksgiving Day games, times and channels

All three games are on Thursday, November 26, which is Thanksgiving Day in 2026. The times below are Eastern, as the league's Thanksgiving week listing gives them, along with the stadiums and the streaming services that carry each game.

The games on Wednesday and Friday

The holiday week has two more games around the Thursday tripleheader, one on Netflix and one on Prime Video.

The league said that Netflix "will stream the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game when Green Bay visits the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, November 25 (8 p.m. ET) in Week 12." The Packers and Rams play at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the league's Thanksgiving week listing shows.

The Friday game is the fourth annual Black Friday game, and Prime Video streams it exclusively, the announcement said. The Week 12 schedule puts the Broncos and Steelers on Friday, November 27, and the Thanksgiving week listing puts the game at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.

Thursday Night Football and Prime Video

The league's announcement said Prime Video has 15 Thursday night games between Weeks 2 and 17, "excluding Thanksgiving night". The night game on November 26 is on NBC, and Prime Video streams the Friday game.

All five games are part of Week 12 of the 2026 regular season. This page will be updated at this address if the league changes a kickoff time or a channel.

The next Super Bowl is Super Bowl LXI, and the NFL's calendar of important dates places it on February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. That date is a Sunday, according to the league's 2026 schedule release. The game decides the champion of the 2026 NFL season.

How to watch

The league's schedule release lists ESPN as the broadcaster of Super Bowl LXI. The halftime show announcement on the NFL's website names ESPN, ABC and Disney+ as the places it will air, along with NFL+ on mobile devices. Neither page states a kickoff time.

The road to the Super Bowl

The same schedule release and the league's important dates page set out the weeks that lead to the game. The two conference champions meet two weeks after the championship games.

The halftime show

Jay-Z will perform at the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show, according to the announcement from Apple Music, the NFL and Roc Nation that the league published.

The last Super Bowl and the next sites

The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX, beating the New England Patriots 29 to 13 in Santa Clara, California, according to the NFL's game report. The league's list of Super Bowl sites dates that game February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium.

The Super Bowl after this one, Super Bowl LXII, will be played in 2028 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, according to the same NFL page, which lists its date as still to be announced.

This page will be updated at this address when the league posts a kickoff time and when the two teams are decided on January 31.

The final of the Emirates NBA Cup 2026 is on Friday, December 11, 2026, at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, according to the league's guide to the tournament.

Key dates

The remaining group nights on the league schedule are November 13, 20, 24, 25 and 27. The league's guide to the tournament says every game in the knockout rounds will be streamed on Prime.

How teams reach the knockout rounds

All 30 teams were drawn into six groups of five, three groups in each conference. Each team plays the other four teams in its group once. The team with the best record in each group advances, along with one wild card from each conference, which is the second-place team with the best record in group games.

Ties are broken first by the head-to-head result in group play, then by point differential, then by total points scored. Points scored in overtime do not count toward the last two.

Do the games count?

Group games, quarterfinals and semifinals count as regular-season games, so every team still plays 82. The championship does not count toward a team's record or toward player statistics.

Past winners

The results come from the league's history page.

This page will be updated at this address when group play ends on November 27 and the eight knockout teams are set, and again after each knockout round.
