2024 ESPY Awards: Full Winners List (Updating)
The biggest names in sports were recognized at the 2024 ESPY Awards and some were lucky enough to take home the coveted silver statue.
The ESPYs, which stands for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly, kicked off on Thursday, July 11, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Serena Williams emceed the evening.
Ahead of the ceremony, Prince Harry was announced as the recipient of the Pat Tillman Award. The honor recognizes a person with a strong connection to sports while serving others. The Duke of Sussex, 39, was chosen due to his service in the British Armed Forces and his creation of the Invictus Games, which is an international sports event first held for wounded, injured and sick veterans.
In addition to Harry, the ESPYs also honored former NFL player Steve Gleason with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage and South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley with the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance.
