When is the NFL MVP announced?
The National Football League Most Valuable Player Award (NFL MVP) is an award given by various media outlets to the American football player who is considered the most valuable player in the National Football League (NFL). The winner is usually announced at the annual NFL Honors ceremony before the Super Bowl, but since 2014, has been announced at the end of the regular season.
Who are the finalists for the NFL MVP?
The National Football League Most Valuable Player Award (NFL MVP) is an annual award given to the most valuable player of the National Football League (NFL). The winner is chosen by a panel of 50 NFL media members and each member casts a vote for first to fifth place selections. The player who receives the most point wins the award.
The NFL began honoring players with an MVP award in 1957, two years after the establishment of its predecessor, the NFL Championship Game MVP Award. The award was originally called “the Bert Bell Award”, named after Bert Bell, the former commissioner of the NFL. In 1960, it was renamed “the Bert Bell Memorial Award”. In 1989, it was renamed “the Joe Montana Award” after Joe Montana won Super Bowl Most Valuable Player for that season. In 2012, it was renamed again to its current name “the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player Award”.
The finalists for the 2020 NFL MVP are Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
How is the NFL MVP determined?

Who has won the NFL MVP in the past?
