There are two places you can go to watch the EPSYs live on Wednesday night.
If you are watching the show on TV or cable, you can view it live on ABC starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
If streaming is more of your thing, you can stream the show live at the same time on ESPN+.

A red carpet event will stream before the ceremony on ESPN+ at 7 p.m. ET.
What if I miss the ESPYs?
Starting Thursday, July 17, anyone with a subscription for ESPN+, Disney+ or Hulu can stream the 2025 ESPYs on-demand across the three streaming services.
Who is hosting?
Stand-up comic Shane Gillis will host the 33rd ESPYs for ESPN. Gillis recently hosted 'Saturday Night Live' for a second time back in March — a show he was briefly hired onto and fired from before his first season due to a history of insensitive jokes. In June, the actor released the second season of his Netflix comedy 'Tires,' which has already been renewed for a third.
Though the ceremony has been hosted by actors and comedians many times before, Gillis is a departure from last year's host, athletic megastar Serena Williams. The year before Williams, the ESPYs went without a single host due to the 2023 WGA strike. Past hosts include Anthony Mackie, John Cena and Norm Macdonald.
Who are the nominees?
There are a slew of categories that will be presented at the ESPYs, recognizing athletes and performances across athletics. Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Shohei Ohtani are nominated in Best Athlete — Men's Sports, while Simone Biles, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas and A'ja Wilson make up the Best Athlete — Women's Sports category.
Are there any special awards?
There are four individuals who will be recognized with special awards at the 2025 ESPYs Wednesday night.
Oscar Robertson, a former NBA player for the Cincinnati Royals and Milwaukee Bucks, will receive the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the annual ceremony. This award is presented to the former player for his fight to establish free agency within the league.
Katie Schumacher-Cawley, current head coach of Penn State's women's volleyball team, will be honored with the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance. This comes after Schumacher-Cawley led her team to become an NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship-winning group in 2024. Schumacher-Cawley, who became the first female coach to achieve this victory, was battling breast cancer at the time of the season.
Both David Walters and Erin Regan will receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2025 ESPYs. The two former athletes (Walters an Olympic medalist in swimming and Regan a goalkeeper for the Wake Forest University women's soccer team in the late 90s and early 2000s) both serve in the Los Angeles County Fire Department. They were both on the front lines as part of the relief effort for the 2025 Southern California wildfires.
Who is performing?
There will be a few musical performances at the 2025 ESPYs. Busta Rhymes, Clipse and GELO will all perform throughout the ceremony. Additionally, artist Tobe Nwigwe will lead the In Memoriam segment, featuring a performance from David Michael Wyatt.
Who is presenting?
There is an extensive list of presenters who will give out awards at the 2025 ESPYs. Presenters includes Angela Bassett, Alison Brie, Billie Jean King, Rob Mac (formerly Rob McElhenney), Pat McAfee, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas, Lindsey Vonn, Russell Wilson and more.

Jacksonville Jaguars' Travis Hunter highest rated rookie in Madden 26
Jacksonville Jaguars' WR/CB Travis Hunter is the highest rated rookie in Madden 26. The Madden 2026 player ratings are being released, and the highest-rated rookie from the 2025 NFL draft class is the Jacksonville Jaguars' Travis Hunter. Hunter's overall ranking is 84. His speed is a 93, change of direction is 96, and spectacular catch rating is 86. Over the last few practices, Hunter has put together some impressive performances at both cornerback and wide receiver. In his 21 snaps at cornerback on Sunday during the 11-on-11 periods, Hunter came away with three pass breakups, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. On Tuesday at wide receiver, John Shipley of Jaguars on SI wrote that this was Hunter's "best practice yet on the offensive side of the ball." This included Hunter making several impressive grabs and "proving he can be a tough cover," as Shipley put it. Hunter has spent four practices at receiver so far and two at cornerback. During the Jaguars' scrimmage on Friday, he will play both offense and defense that day, according to DiRocco. Ultimately, that will be the norm for Hunter, but how things unfold during that mock game will play a role in determining what his practice schedule looks like moving forward. "I think what will happen is where he's on offense (on Monday), he'll go back to defense before our mock game, scrimmage (on Friday) and we'll be able to use that mock as an evaluation to see what do we need to do now," Liam Coen said after Monday's practice. "What did it look like in the scrimmage? Do we need to get him more on defense or hey, these other guys are producing and developing and we can keep with the schedule as is. It'll be not a defining moment but an evaluation time for us."

One Vikings player seen as a 'late-round flyer' in fantasy football in 2025
The Vikings are excited to have Jordan Mason on their offense in 2025. They traded for him this offseason while also extending Aaron Jones who they had a great 2024 campaign with. Despite the backfield being loaded, there remains a sleeper attitude as it relates to the former 49ers running back turned Viking. Sleeping is exactly what one analyst believes fantasy players are doing as it relates to Mason in 2025. ESPN's Liz Loza laid out her selections for being late-round fliers in your upcoming fantasy drafts, and Mason made the cut. She acknowledges that taking him will be a leap of faith, but it comes with a big payoff. She writes, "Jones stayed healthy in 2024 after missing six games the previous season with the Packers. However, he also touched the ball over 300 times. That's not nothing for a back entering his age-30 season. Moreover, Jones logged a meager five rushing scores despite registering 12 attempts inside the 5-yard line. Meanwhile, Mason was 22nd among RBs in red zone touches, scoring in three of four games in which he carried the rock 15 or more times. Given his size and power running style, Mason figures to emerge as the favorite in short-yardage and goal-line situations." Mason has a chance to pick up a lot of the redzone carries and short-yardage opportunities, as she mentions. That is because Jones, with his maneuverability, is predicted to be someone the Vikings use more in the pass game. Not to be forgotten, and a reason Mason was traded for, is his pass blocking. While that may not be something that gets you fantasy points, it keeps you on the field to earn more opportunities.

49ers' 'talent under 25' ranking validates front office's path
The San Francisco 49ers weren't big spenders in free agency. At times, it had to be maddening for fans to see some of the talented vets that the organization parted ways with or let walk to begin this offseason. Notable defensive names such as Javon Hargrave, Leonard Floyd, Charvarius Ward and Dre Greenlaw all wound up elsewhere. But, the franchise recognized it needed to get younger. ESPN's updated talent under 25 rankings is a good illustration of some of what the front office sought out to fix. According to ESPN, the 49ers rank 30th in the NFL's talent under 25 rankings. That's down from the franchise's No. 23 slot a season ago. Of course, several notable 49ers graduated from that under 25 distinction, including quarterback Brock Purdy, guard Dominick Puni and strong safety Ji'Ayir Brown. Here's what ESPN said about the 49ers' current talent under 25 situation: Purdy no longer counts as talent under 25, but the 49ers still have some younger starters. Safety Malik Mustapha, 23, started 12 games in 2024. Linebacker Dee Winters is 24 and started 10 games. Cornerback Renardo Green and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall -- both expected starters in 2025 -- are 24. Second-round rookie defensive tackle Alfred Collins is 23, and the youngest of the 49ers is their first-round pick, edge rusher Mykel Williams. He turned 21 in late June. - Aaron Schatz, ESPN Though ESPN's rankings also prove it's not an exact science with teams like the New York Giants and Chicago Bears inside the top five, there are some correlations between the NFL's best and ranking in the upper half of the league in the talent under 25 category. The two teams that met in last season's Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs and world champion Philadelphia Eagles, rank 13th and 14th, respectively. If the 49ers' 2025 rookie draft class pans out, San Francisco should shoot up these rankings in a hurry. That would be great news for San Francisco's current trajectory and for the long-term health of the franchise.
