A shortlist of six contenders for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025 award has been announced.
English footballers Hannah Hampton and Chloe Kelly, rugby player Ellie Kildunne, darts player Luke Littler, golfer Rory McIlroy and Formula 1 driver Lando Norris are the nominees.
Voting will take place during the BBC One and BBC iPlayer show on Thursday 18 December.
The show, presented by Gabby Logan, Alex Scott and Clare Balding, and broadcast live from MediaCityUK in Salford, will celebrate 12 months of incredible sporting action.
Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport, said: “This has been an impressive year for sport, driven by athletes whose performances belong in the history books.
“Each has provided moments of pure brilliance that have defined 2025.
“It’s been incredible to watch and I can’t wait to honor their achievements and see who the nation chooses as the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025.”
The public can vote online that night for the top prize, and full details will be announced during the show.
The Team of the Year award will also be decided by public vote with contenders announced later this month.
Other awards presented on the night included Young Sports Personality of the Year, Coach of the Year, Lifetime Achievement and the Helen Rollason Award.
The World Sport Star award will also be presented, for which voting is open.
