Nominations Open for 2025 Leeds Sports Awards

A total of 15 awards will be presented on the evening, and the public are invited to nominate for 13 of these, including the new Sustainability Award.

2024 was another fantastic year in sport for the city led by the performances of our Olympians and Paralympians. The city staged the Super League Magic Weekend for the first time, hosted the second running of the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon and national teams competed in the city as part of the UK Corporate Games. 

The 2025 Awards brought to you by Sport Leeds and supported by Leeds City Council will take place on Thursday 15th May staged for the first time at the Carriageworks Theatre, with a new theatre style presentation. 

Rob Wadsworth Chair of Sport Leeds said “the Leeds Sports Awards ceremony is one of the highlights of the Leeds sporting calendar as we celebrate the performances of athletes, of all levels and ages, coaches, administrators and volunteers from across the city during 2024. 

Leeds City Councillor Salma Arif (Executive Member for Adult Social Care, Active Lifestyles and Culture) said “As a city, we are fortunate to have some of the country’s top athletes based here, as well as a tremendous network of volunteers who do so much to keep our communities active.
