The NFL is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month this month, which runs from September 15th to October 15th. The theme of this years Hispanic Heritage Month recognition is "Feel the Orgullo," which means pride in Spanish. The NFL and its teams are celebrating with a series of special events focused on week 3 of the season. In addition, the NFL is committed to celebrating Latino culture, inspiring and propelling youth toward their dreams, and building a unified path to greatness through sport with its Por La Cultura initiative.

However, the NFL has also recently faced backlash for its handling of Hispanic Heritage Month, with some critics arguing that the league has not done enough to support the Latino community.

In addition to Hispanic Heritage Month, the NFL is also celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month this month, which includes National Coming Out Day (October 11th) and Spirit Day (October 15th) . The NFL has launched a series of new initiatives designed to engage the LGBTQ+ community, including a dedicated website, a PSA celebrating out NFL Legends and voicing support and allyship, expanded partnerships with GLAAD and The Trevor Project, a PRIDE-themed NFL shield, and an assortment of LGBTQ+ content airing on NFL Network throughout October.
