The 2024 BBC Sports Personality of the Year will be held at MediaCityUK in Salford on Tuesday, 17 December.
Gabby Logan, Alex Scott and Clare Balding will present the show live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 19:00 GMT.
It will celebrate an incredible 12 months of sporting action, including Great Britain’s success at the Paris Olympics and Paralympics, and England men’s run to the final of Euro 2024.
Eight awards will be handed out including the prestigious main prize, which was won last year by Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps.
Alex Kay-Jelski, BBC director of sport, said: “Once again, it’s been a nail-biting, thrilling and emotional year of amazing sport.
“From the Olympics to men’s Euros to records broken across the country and the world, we can’t wait to look back and enjoy it all over again.
“We were spoilt and it’s impossible to know who will receive the awards. Thankfully the audience get to decide who claims the Sports Personality of the Year Award, so we don’t have to.
“Regardless of who wins, it’s sure to be a special evening celebrating sporting greatness and I can’t wait to attend my first in the job.”
The eight award categories for 2024 are: BBC Sports Personality of the Year; World Sport Star of the Year; Helen Rollason award; Young Sports Personality of the Year; Unsung Hero; Coach of the Year; Team of the Year; and the Lifetime Achievement award.
