BBC Sports Personality of the Year – or SPOTY for short – is one of the most prized awards in British sport, as it is voted for by the general public.
Past winners include Sir Mo Farah, Sir Andy Murray, Andrew Flintoff, Dame Kelly Holmes, Jonny Wilkinson, David Beckham, Paula Radcliffe and Bobby Moore.
Presenters Gary Lineker, Clare Balding and Gabby Logan will take to the stage to celebrate the year of sport in front of an audience of 10,000, with millions more watching live on BBC One.
