PAT SUMMERALL

The Pat Summerall Award was created to honor a national broadcaster or prominent sports personality who exemplified the characteristics Pat Summerall wanted the award to represent – an individual who has had an outstanding career and who has made a significant impact in their community. Commencing at Super Bowl XL in Detroit in 2006, Pat Summerall personally chose the honoree and presented the award in person annually during Super Bowl Weekend until his death in 2013.

Kirk Herbstreit, College Football Analyst – ESPN/ABC and NFL Analyst – Thursday Night Football – Amazon Prime Video , has been selected as the 20th recipient of the coveted Pat Summerall Award for the 2026 Legends for Charity Dinner, taking place on Thursday, February 5, 2026 (5:00 pm - 8:00 pm) at the NFL Headquarters hotel, Marriot Marquis, downtown San Francisco.
