Where can I watch the ESPYs live?
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+.
Will there be a red carpet?
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.

First image of Christian Gonzalez facing Stefon Diggs at Patriots camp
The New England Patriots showed off the first image of All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez lining up against four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a social media post on Thursday. Gonzalez admitted earlier in the week that he was excited to match up against Diggs in practice. Iron sharpens iron, as the saying goes. Gonzalez is on the rise as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and Diggs is looking to climb back into the elite tier of wide receivers, following an ACL injury last October. Before the injury, Diggs was coming off six straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons. There's hope that he can get back to that same level in New England. One way for Diggs to test himself is frequent head-to-head matchups against one of the top corners in the game. Gonzalez recently made ESPN's top-10 cornerbacks list, which polled votes from executives, coaches and NFL scouts around the league. The former Oregon standout landed at No. 6 in the rankings with one NFL assistant comparing him to the No. 1 player on the list, Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II. "I think Gonzo is the next great one," a veteran NFL assistant said, via ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Skills, patience, length. He's the closest thing to Pat [Surtain II]. Smooth, big athlete, travels a lot, can matchup against the best guy." Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

ESPN's rumored NFL upgrade might make its $30 streaming service worth subscribing
As you may already know, ESPN will officially become a streaming service later this fall. The Worldwide Leader in Sports is going to offer all its linear cable networks and ESPN Plus for $30 a month. But based on a new rumor, this ESPN streaming service might be offering additional NFL content, and that might convince even me that a $30 subscription is a great value for cord-cutters. The Athletic reported on Wednesday (July 23) that ESPN and the NFL are "inside the 5-yard line" on a deal that would sell NFL Media to ESPN. If that deal gets done, it would — theoretically — give ESPN ownership of NFL Network and NFL RedZone. Sports fans — snag this streaming bundle to add both Disney Plus and Hulu to all the live sports ESPN Plus has to offer. That would be huge because, presumably, ESPN could then add these channels to the ESPN streaming service. Adding NFL RedZone on its own would be a massive coup for ESPN, and almost certainly drive subscriptions. Now, here's the catch: ESPN doesn't have to keep the streaming service at $30. So Disney, make NFL RedZone the Costco hot dog of the ESPN streaming service. Take a bit of a hit on it, but win in the long run. Because I guarantee you, if you offer every ESPN network and RedZone for $30, people will sign up. NFL RedZone is typically a $10 add-on, whether as part of your cable package or if you use one of the best live TV streaming services. It's often bundled with a few other networks, so it seems like you're getting value, but the truth is you're paying $10 for NFL RedZone. So, presumably, ESPN could just add RedZone and NFL Network and bump up the price of its streaming service by $10. Honestly, adding those two channels is probably worth $10 to a lot of people. But if ESPN wants this streaming service to succeed, and be part of a streaming service bundle that I think could dethrone Netflix and cable, then it needs to make RedZone a loss leader. To be honest, Disney already does to some extent this with Hulu and Disney Plus. Each streaming service on its own is $9.99 (with ads), but for a dollar more you can get the Disney Plus, Hulu Bundle Basic. That's clearly costing Disney profit on a per subscriber basis, but it's boosting the sheer volume of subscribers. So Disney, make NFL RedZone the Costco hot dog of the ESPN streaming service. Take a bit of a hit on it, but win in the long run. Because I guarantee you, if you offer every ESPN network and RedZone for $30, people will sign up.

Did Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez make ESPN's top-10 CB rankings?
New England Patriots All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez made the cut in ESPN's list of top 10 cornerbacks heading into the 2025 season. The rankings were compiled from 70 votes, including NFL executives, coaches and scouts. Gonzalez landed at No. 6 in this year's rankings. Pat Surtain II, Derek Stingley Jr., Denzel Ward, Trent McDuffie and Sauce Gardner were the players ranked ahead of him. It's great company to keep for a player who only has 20 games of NFL experience. Gonzalez will be looking to make a major statement this season after recording 59 tackles, 11 pass deflections and two interceptions in 2024. "I think Gonzo is the next great one," a veteran NFL assistant said, via ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Skills, patience, length. He's the closest thing to Pat [Surtain II]. Smooth, big athlete, travels a lot, can matchup against the best guy." The journey to being the "next great one" could begin as early as this season for Gonzalez. New England has made notable improvements at every level of the defense, including signing veteran cornerback Carlton Davis III to play opposite Gonzalez. This could be the best year yet from the former first-round draft pick. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
