Event information

Overview

Time Magazine’s Athlete of the Year is one of the most culturally prestigious honors in sports media. Unlike purely performance-based awards, this title often blends athletic achievement, cultural influence, and global impact. Past winners include stars who’ve not only dominated their sport but shaped larger conversations in society.

The 2025 race is particularly compelling, with massive performances across the NFL, WNBA, Olympics, tennis, and global football. With the 2024 Summer Olympics still fresh in public memory and major championship runs in both team and individual sports, this year’s field is stacked.


Top Contenders

  • Caitlin Clark (WNBA / USA Basketball)
    Continues to redefine women’s basketball and bring record audiences. A global phenomenon and symbol of sport’s cultural shift.

  • LeBron James (NBA / Off-Court Influence)
    Approaching the twilight of his playing career while maintaining elite status and unmatched global reach. Off-court impact remains huge.

  • Patrick Mahomes (NFL – Kansas City Chiefs)
    If Mahomes leads KC to another deep playoff or Super Bowl win, his dominance and brand presence put him in strong contention.

  • Simone Biles (USA Gymnastics)
    Made a successful return to Olympic competition, inspiring millions while performing at the highest level once again.

  • Kylian Mbappé (France / Real Madrid)
    A strong showing at the 2024 Euros, Champions League and a successful debut season at Real Madrid could make him the global standout.


Key Storylines to Watch

  • Olympic Legacy Boost: Athletes who starred in Paris may see their global status surge heading into end-of-year voting.

  • Cultural Impact: TIME values off-the-field influence—activism, business ventures, or redefining a sport’s visibility all play a role.

  • Multi-sport Presence: Candidates who excel in multiple arenas (like Clark’s crossover from college to WNBA and Team USA) tend to earn the spotlight.

  • Timing: Breakout performances in Q3 or Q4 often carry more momentum into the decision-making process.
