The National Football League will celebrate its 100th Season in 2019 with "NFL 100", a year-long series of events, initiatives and programming centered around fans, players and communities.
The celebration will salute the millions of fans who love the game, highlight football’s positive impact in communities and bring together generations of past, present and future players.
"For nearly 100 years, the NFL has been part of the fabric of America, unifying communities and bringing fans together to support their favorite teams and players." said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "We have the greatest fans in the world. Next year, we will join our fans in celebrating what this incredible game means to each of us. "NFL 100" will kick off at Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta. The celebration will continue throughout the offseason and 2019 regular season, culminating at Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
Planned programs include:
- Weekends in local team markets that bring together high school football programs with fan festivals and NFL games.
- Selection of an All-Time Team and the 10 greatest coaches in NFL history elected by a blue-ribbon panel of former players, general managers, coaches, NFL historians and media.
- Original programming and content to celebrate the 100th season on NFL Media, including NFL Network and NFL Films.

Football is an essential piece of America’s fabric, uniting fans, players and communities with a simple yet powerful bond. We honor the game’s history while continuing to innovate and preserve the sport for future generations of fans, players, coaches, teams and officials.
