What is it? SPOTY is the BBC's long-running end of year sports review show to crown the Sports Personality of the Year. It remains, for some viewers, one of sport’s most prestigious awards. When is it? The event takes place on Sunday, December 20 with voting open to the public during the BBC's programme. The show is broadcast on BBC One. Where is it? This year, the event will be broadcast live from from Media City in Salford. What time will it start? Coverage begins at 8pm GMT, finishing at 10pm GMT. Last year's winner was announced 15 minutes before the end of the show, and we should expect the same this year. How can I watch it? BBC One and BBC iPlayer will have live coverage of the show, presented by Gabby Logan, Clare Balding, Gary Lineker, and Alex Scott. Alternatively, you could follow the event by reading our rolling blog. Who are the contenders? This year's nominees were revealed by living room fitness enthusiast Joe Wicks. Stuart Broad (cricket), Hollie Doyle (horse racing), Tyson Fury (boxing), Lewis Hamilton (Formula 1), Jordan Henderson (football), and Ronnie O'Sullivan (snooker) are the nominees, though Fury has asked the BBC to remove his name from the list. Sports Personality of the Year 2020 nominees: What did the candidates achieve?
