The Sports Social Podcast Network has been announced as the headline partner for the Sports Podcast Awards 2025 for the second year in a row.
Last year's partnership was successful and established the foundation for continued collaboration. In 2024, sports social played a key role in increasing the visibility of podcasts across many categories, including 'Best Football Podcasts' and 'Best Cricket Podcasts'.
The 2024 Awards saw increased global participation, with podcasts from different countries competing for top honors. The awards partnership with Sports Social brings more buzz to lesser-known shows and shines a spotlight on creators from around the world.
As the sports media landscape continues to change, podcasts are becoming an increasingly important way for fans to connect with their favorite sports, teams, and athletes. The Sports Podcast Awards and Sport Social's continued partnership ensures that new voices emerge and have room to succeed.
Speaking on behalf of the Sports Podcast Awards, Anthony Cooper, Head of Content at Sports Industry Group, said:
“Their dedication to distributing, growing and monetizing high-quality sports content aligns perfectly with our mission to celebrate excellence in sports podcasting.
“We are excited to have them on board and look forward to a great celebration of the sports podcasting community.”
Stephen Doyle, Head of Sports Social, added: This partnership continues to reflect our shared commitment to elevating the world of sports podcasting and celebrating the creators who bring sports stories to life.
“As the sports audio industry continues to grow, we are excited to help bring this award to even more fans and recognize the global talent driving the medium forward.”
