The inaugural awards ceremony took place at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Wednesday night (3 November)
Broadcast Sport has revealed the winners of the Broadcast Sport Awards 2021.
It’s the first year of the Broadcast Sport Awards, which shine the spotlight on the sports production and sports broadcast industry.
The Awards consist of 18 categories, covering everything from sports documentaries and live sport production, the pundits and presenters, to social media content, advertising and marketing campaigns.
It’s Broadcast’s fourth set of prestigious television industry awards, and the awards night at the Grosvenor House Hotel (see a selection of photos from the event below) was a true showcase event for the sports production and sports broadcast community.
Congratulations to all the winners, thanks to all our sponsors (ACF Investment Bank, MOOV, NEP, Stats Perform, Timeline), and thanks to everyone for making year one such a success. The full list of winners is below.
