The awards shine the spotlight on the sports production and sports broadcast industry. It’s the first year of the Broadcast Sport Awards and we’ve been overwhelmed by the response and number of entries we’ve received.

It’s Broadcast’s fourth set of prestigious television industry awards, and will be a showcase event for the sports production and sports broadcast community.

The winners will be revealed on 3 November 2021 at a gala awards dinner at the luxurious surroundings of the Ballroom at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, London.
