Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft are both finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
The architects of the Patriots dynasty are among five men who have made the cut to this final stage of the Coach, Contributor and Seniors category, along with Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson, 49ers running back Roger Craig and Steelers defensive end L.C. Greenwood.

Of the five candidates, only three can advance to enshrinement, and they must garner 80% of the selection committee’s vote. The enshrinees will be announced during Super Bowl week in Santa Clara.
“For the second year, the Finalists from these categories within the selection process are competing directly against each other under bylaws the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Board of Directors approved in 2024,” the Hall of Fame wrote in its release. “The revision to the process helps ensure the exclusivity of inclusion in the game’s most elite fraternity. Each member of the Selection Committee may vote for only three of these five Finalists.
“With the bylaws revision, a maximum of three of this year’s Finalists can be elected. If none of the five individuals receives 80% approval, then the individual who receives the most support would be elected to the Class of 2026.”
