The contract is a Polymarket event titled "Pro Football: 2026-27 AP Offensive Player of the Year Winner" [1]. It asks which player will win the 2026 Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year award for the 2026-27 NFL season [1]. The provider lists the event as active, with a listed end time of 2027-03-01T04:59:00.000Z [1]. That listed time is when the contract closes under its rules. The contract rules do not state a date for when the award will be announced. The Associated Press award sits within a larger set of honors. The AP NFL Most Valuable Player award is presented by the Associated Press and is described as the de facto official NFL MVP award and the most prestigious [2]. Since 2012, the NFL has held the annual NFL Honors ceremony to recognize the winner of the AP MVP award and other AP awards, including the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year [2]. This background explains where the award comes from. It does not confirm any current event, and the supplied evidence does not name the 2026-27 winner. The contract's rules set the outcome. The market resolves to the player who wins the award for the 2026-27 season [1]. If two or more players tie, the market resolves according to the official winner as determined by NFL rules. If multiple winners are announced, the market resolves to the player whose listed last name comes first alphabetically [1]. If the 2026-27 season is cancelled, is postponed after February 28, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET, or otherwise produces no declared winner within that timeframe, the market resolves to "Other" [1]. The stated resolution source is official information from the NFL, although a consensus of credible reporting may also be used [1]. The market data is a partial sample. At the observation time of 2026-10-18T06:00:06Z, the saved event contained 42 markets, and 12 are included here [1]. Each included market is a separate Yes or No question about one named player. The sample is ordered by Yes price, highest first. Among the included markets, the Gibbs market had the highest Yes price at 0.255, followed by Robinson at 0.16, Walker at 0.158, and Smith-Njigba at 0.135. The 30 omitted markets are not shown, so their prices cannot be inferred from this sample. These are snapshots at one point in time. They are not executable quotes or verified probabilities.

Historical Context

The AP NFL Most Valuable Player award is presented annually by the Associated Press to a player judged the most valuable in that year's regular season [2]. The retrieved Wikipedia page describes the AP award as the de facto official NFL MVP award, and says the NFL has held the NFL Honors ceremony since 2012 to recognize AP award winners, including the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year [2]. The same page names quarterback Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams as the most recent MVP winner, as stated on that page at retrieval [2]. This is historical background from a retrieved encyclopedia page and is not a present-day update on the 2026-27 award.
