The 10th NFL Honors was an awards presentation by the National Football League that honored its players from the 2020 NFL season. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was a multi-site ceremony, with two sites being used in the host city of Tampa, Florida; the Straz Center for the Performing Arts and host stadium Raymond James Stadium, and SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

For the third consecutive year, Steve Harvey hosted the show. Harvey joined Alec Baldwin as the only two people to host the show three times. The show featured performances by Green Day during the opening segment and Leslie Odom Jr. during the in-memoriam segment. [1]
