An Evening of Connection, Celebration & Sport Business Excellence.
Cafe Royal, Central London
6 October 2026
With eight categories and the prestigious Leaders Under 40 Award, we’ll spend an evening celebrating the exceptional individuals and organisations driving global sport forward.
Celebrating the talent and innovation shaping the global sports industry.
In response to industry feedback, the categories have been redefined to recognise the leaders of the year. The individuals and organisations driving progress across sport, rather than individual campaigns or one-off moments.
These are the people setting direction, building momentum and delivering impact over time; through stronger leadership, smarter strategy, more meaningful partnerships and better experiences for fans and stakeholders alike.
Their achievements were recognised at an exclusive dinner at Café Royal, during Leaders Week London 2026, bringing together the industry’s most influential voices to celebrate those shaping what comes next.
