Broadcast Sport Awards 2026 entry deadline extended

The Broadcast Sport Awards 2026 has extended its entry deadline by one week to 11 September. 

With the high number of entries across all entries, this is to allow those that have unfinished entries to complete their entry submissions, and to provide those that haven’t yet started their entry with enough time.

The Broadcast Sport Awards celebrate the best in sport content, with the UK’s top presenters, pundits, broadcasters, production companies, federations, leagues, clubs, content creators and more part of around 700 people in attendance to see the winners announced at a gala dinner at the London Hilton on Park Lane on 5 November. 

The qualifying period runs from 15 Sept 2025 until 4 Sept 2026, and categories cover everything to do with sport content, including live coverage and documentaries, short-form and branded content, and social media engagement, to on-screen and off-screen talent, content creators and more. There is also the TV Sports Moment of the Year award, which is enterable and for the best sporting moment of the last 12 months. 

Previous winners have included top broadcasters such as Sky Sports, TNT Sports, DAZN, beIN Sports, the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4, production companies such as Whisper, Sunset+Vine, Noah Media Group, Aurora and IMG, presenters and pundits such as Gabby Logan, Ian Wright, Ally McCoist, Emma Hayes, and Laura Woods, rights holders such as World Rugby, Chelsea FC, DP World Tour, the NBA, and plenty more across all of those areas. 

 After the entry period closes, the shortlists will be announced towards the end of September. These will then go to a panel of judges made of experts from across the sport and content industries, which you can see here. 

The winners will then be announced at the London Hilton on Park Lane on 5 November, in front of a packed audience of 700 from across the sector. 

Gravity Media and NEP are sponsoring the Awards, and you can find out how to sponsor the popular event and the benefits of being a sponsor here.
