The 2025 AP NFL MVP for the season concluding in early 2026 has not been officially announced yet , so there is no confirmed “NFL MVP 2026” winner at this time.

Quick Scoop

  • The official AP NFL MVP is announced during the NFL Honors show, which is scheduled for early February 2026, so the award is still pending.
  • Several outlets and analysts currently frame the MVP race as a tight battle between Rams QB Matthew Stafford and Patriots QB Drake Maye, but those are projections, not final results.
  • The Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) have already named Matthew Stafford their 2025 MVP, but that is a separate award from the AP MVP most fans mean when they say “NFL MVP.”

Where things stand now

  • Matthew Stafford (Rams) has already picked up the PFWA MVP after leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns, which often lines up with AP MVP voting but does not guarantee it.
  • Drake Maye (Patriots) is a popular pick in columnist and blog “awards” pieces, with some writers predicting he will be announced as the AP MVP at NFL Honors.
  • Betting and media discussions describe it as essentially a two‑player race (Stafford vs. Maye) heading into the final announcement window.

So, who “won” right now?

  • No one has officially won the AP NFL MVP for the 2025 season yet. Any name you see attached to “NFL MVP 2026” before NFL Honors is either a prediction, a media outlet’s own award, or a different voters’ group like PFWA.
