The top nominees for the 2024 ESPY Awards include Simone Biles, Jaylen Brown, Caitlin Clark, Coco Gauff, Patrick Mahomes, and Shohei Ohtani.
The winners will be announced during the July 11 ceremony, which will be hosted by Serena Williams and broadcast live from Los Angeles at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
NFL quarterback Mahomes and MLB star Ohtani will compete for the title of best athlete in men’s sports, alongside golfer Scott Scheffler and hockey player Connor McDavid. If Mahomes or Ohtani win, they will join LeBron James, Lance Armstrong, and Tiger Woods as the only athletes who have won the category more than once.
Clark, a college basketball star, and Gauff, a tennis pro, will compete for the title of best athlete in women’s sports, alongside golfer Nelly Korda and WNBA star A’ja Wilson.
The ESPYs will once again present three special awards: the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance, and the Pat Tillman Award for Service. The recipients’ names will be announced later this week.
The ESPYs support ESPN’s ongoing commitment to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, which was founded in 1993 by ESPN in collaboration with the late Jim Valvano.
