ESPY Award winners 2021: Live results, highlights, best moments from the ESPYs - Sporting News

ESPN's main programming this July will be the Suns vs. Bucks NBA Finals, but on Saturday, the network will utilize a two-day break in the series to host the biggest awards show in sports.

Last year, the ESPY Awards were moved to June because of the COVID-19 pandemic. With sporting events postponed and canceled, the annual show was held virtually and highlighted the social achievements of athletes.

This year, the event will return to its normal format. The show will focus on athletic achievements and will honor the best athletes, teams, performances and more. Among the nominees are Tom Brady, Simone Biles, Aaron Rodgers, Chris Paul, Paige Bueckers, Naomi Osaka and DK Metcalf.

Additionally, the ESPYs will present the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance and the Pat Tillman Award for Service to Maya Moore, Chris Nikic and Marcus Rashford, respectively.

Moore, a former WNBA superstar, will receive the Arthur Ashe Award for her efforts to free Jonathan Irons from a Missouri prison. Nikic will receive the Jimmy V Award after becoming the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman Triathlon last November. English soccer player Rashford will receive the Pat Tillman Award after helping to combat food poverty and hunger with his charitable efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2021 ESPYs will begin at 8 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ABC. The event will be hosted by actor Anthony Mackie, known for his role as Sam Wilson/Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Below are the nominees and winners at the 2021 ESPY Awards.
