The Indianapolis Colts will induct late owner and CEO Jim Irsay into their Ring of Honor during the Sept. 7 season opener against the Miami Dolphins at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The team made the announcement on Friday, which would have been the longtime executive’s 66th birthday. Irsay passed away on May 21.

Irsay will become the 20th member of the Ring of Honor, whose inaugural inductee in 1996 was his father and former team owner, Robert Irsay. Membership also includes Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeney and former coach Tony Dungy.

Earlier this month, team ownership was passed down to Irsay’s three daughters: Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson.

“There was no bigger advocate for the Colts, the NFL, the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana than our dad, Jim Irsay,” Irsay’s daughters said in a statement. “It’s only fitting that he now joins the other amazing Colts legends in our Ring of Honor who contributed so much to our franchise and our community over the past four decades.”

Under Jim Irsay’s involvement with the franchise from 1984-2024, the Colts went 316-294-1 in the regular season and 13-16 in the playoffs with a victory in Super Bowl XLI.
