2025 Sports Technology Awards

Welcome to
The Arena of Innovation!

Recognized as the leading, international mark of excellence, The Sports Technology Awards celebrates tech-led innovation in sports, globally.

Founded in 2013, The Awards evolve each year to reflect the important factors influencing every facet of sports. Whether you work as a suit, tracksuit, investor, technologist, scientist, mechanical engineer or designer, The Awards are relevant to you.

The cycle of each year’s awards start when entries open in September. Then, our judges – around 70 experts – review all the entries, with the shortlist of successful brands announced in January. The Awards ceremony is then staged each year in The Spring.

Over the past 12 years, The Sports Technology Awards has become the leading global celebration of tech-led thinking. 2025 sees the elevation of this concept into ‘The Arena of Innovation’.

The Arena is a virtual, global hub at the intersection of sports, technology, science, engineering and design. It’s where disruptive technologies are showcased, scrutinized and celebrated.

It’s here that the vision of today meets the sports world of tomorrow.

The Entry Portal is Now Open – Be Part of Sports Technology’s Biggest Celebration.

Entries for 2025 open in September. Interested in entering? Please get in touch with us HERE.
