2024 has been a sensational year for sport and what better way to recognise it than to give out some BCP Sports Awards!

Over the year we have seen many exciting sporting performances, events, fixtures and individual brilliance, not to mention the occasional sporting nightmare thrown in for good measure! We have had a European Championships, Copa America and an Olympic Games thrown in for good measure.

The BCP Sports Awards of 2024 will seek to reward the sporting excellence we have witnessed throughout the year. Offering kudos to the winners and commiserations to those who came top in some of our less popular categories!

One of the main reasons we have enjoyed the sports so much in 2024 is the outstanding betting opportunities available with bet365 Sport. We don’t have a category for bookmakers, but if there was, we know where our vote would be going!

Always remember to gamble responsibly.

Check out bet365’s Safer Gambling page for more details.

There’s lots of sports and categories to cover for the BCP Sports Awards of 2024, so let’s get started with a look at some of the top performers in some of the most popular sports.
