BBC Sports Personality of the Year LIVE: Latest information and photos from Salford ceremony with Keely Hodgkinson favorite to take house the award after Olympics gold medal

Right, while we all know the big award that is up for grabs, it’s not the only prize on offer.

So, that being said, I thought I would take you through all of the award categories to look out for this evening.

• Sports Personality of the Year
• World Sport Star of the Year
• Helen Rollason award
• Young Sports Personality of the Year
• Unsung Hero
• Coach of the Year
• Team of the Year
• Lifetime Achievement award

To say 2024 has been action-packed with sport doesn’t even do it justice.

This year has been stacked with spectacular moments across a variety of different sports, if I had to list all of them I would be here forever.

We were treated to an incredible Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, while in the football world, the European Championship was held in Germany. Many England fans won’t forget that one in a hurry.

There has also been two T20 World Cups, the World Athletics Championships, and plenty of drama in the Tennis world.

It’s fair to say, choosing a Sports Personality of the Year after everything that has gone will not exactly be easy. But still, it’s got to be done.

I mean, there have been plenty of individual performances.

It’s the time of the year when we celebrate some of Britain’s best athletes and their achievements.

As per usual, it’s been a sensational year of sport in this country, there have been so many memorable moments.

I would go through them now, but we have all evening for that.

While the BBC’s flagship awards show will be celebrating many athletes and teams across the country, there is one award that tops them all.

That’s right, the Sports Personality of the Year…

The question is, who will join last year’s winner Mary Earps, and become part of a legendary group of sportspeople.

We’ll find out later tonight, but before then we have a lot of build-up to go through.

Make sure you stick with us!
