The Pro Football Hall of Fame generally inducts from four to seven inductees in August of each year, but the selection process begins more than a year earlier when the Selection Committee takes it first swing at paring the candidates to 25 semi-finalists and then 15 finalists of current era football players. The finalists ate joined by three others spelected from players from over 25 years ago and contributors (like Owners and Officials).

On Selection Saturday (the day before the Super Bowl), the 48 members of the Selection Committee meet to select the next induction class. To be selected an inductee must show up on 80% of the ballots of the Selection Committee. If they are an ex-player, they must have been retired for at least 5 years.

The Selection Committee is primarily made up of members of the media from cities that have current NFL teams. There are also 15 members selected at-large.

One unique feature of the Pro Football Hall Of Fame process is that fans may nominate someone by contacting the Hall.
