Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, was not elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the Class of 2026. Although he was a finalist, Kraft did not receive enough votes from the selection committee, partly due to a more complex evaluation process for contributors and past controversies involving the Patriots.
