The awards celebrate the sporting achievements of those in the city during 2020 and acknowledge the community endeavours of people across Leeds.

Hosted by Tanya Arnold, the live awards show will highlight those who have championed sport during 2020, which was a challenging year for everyone involved in sport at all levels.

Despite difficult circumstances there is much to celebrate, such as the impressive sporting performances from the city’s professional teams and athletes.

The awards will also recognise and honour the incredible individuals and organisations across Leeds who kept communities fit, healthy and active during 2020.
