The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced this morning that the enshrinement ceremonies for the Class of 2022 will start at 12:00 noon, Saturday, August 6.

Its the first midday ceremony at the Hall since 2006.

The NFL Network and ESPN will continue as the dual network partners providing national broadcast coverage of the Enshrinement

“Moving the time of the Enshrinement to noon on Saturday – along with some other changes to the overall weekend schedule for the new class members – will lighten their overall load on a long, busy weekend,” Porter said. “We think it will improve the experience for the new class members and the many returning Hall of Famers who come back to Canton each year. We also think it will improve the guest experience as well, with other activities planned on the campus of Hall of Fame Village.”

Moving into the Saturday evening timeslot this year will be the 2022 Concert for Legends. The headliner for this year, the start time for the concert and ticket information for the event will be announced in the coming weeks

Tickets for the Enshrinement of the Class of 2022 – TONY BOSELLI, CLIFF BRANCH, LeROY BUTLER, ART McNALLY, SAM MILLS, RICHARD SEYMOUR, DICK VERMEIL and BRYANT YOUNG – go on sale Friday, March 11 at 10 a.m. ET, with the signature event featuring an earlier start time than has been used in more than a decade.

Saturday’s lineup of events also includes The Repository Grand Parade, which steps off at 8 a.m. in downtown Canton. One of the largest parades in the U.S., more than 200,000 spectators each year line the route that stretches about 2.5 miles.
