The 2020 ESPYS will be a virtual event this year as a result of the coronavirus pandemic that continues to impact the nation. The annual awards show will also have a different feel, as it’s shifting its focus “from outstanding athletic achievement to further highlight narratives of service, perseverance, and courage within the world of sports,” per the ESPN press release.
Three of the most exciting athletes in sports today will be hosting the event: Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird and OL Reign winger Megan Rapinoe.
“The ESPYS are always a highlight for me every year and I’m incredibly honored that they’ve asked me to co-host this year’s special show,” Wilson said via the press release. “Although the sports world is on a pause, Megan, Sue, and I hope to shine a light on some of the amazing stories of resilience that we are seeing through this unique time.”
The ESPYS will air Sunday, June 21 at 6:00 p.m. PT on ESPN and streaming on Watch ESPN.
