The FA England Awards is an annual online vote for England supporters. It used to be an award ceremony hosted by The Football Association. The inaugural edition took place on 3 February 2003, although The FA Women's Football Awards started in 1999.

Senior Men's Player of the Year

The Senior Men's Player of the Year is a football award presented by The FA to the most outstanding performers of the England national team. The award was originally given out at the end of the calendar year but from 2020-21 it moved to a seasonal honour and is decided by an online poll by England fans on EnglandFootball.com (formerly TheFA.com).
