Madrid to host Laureus World Sports Awards on April 20

Madrid will host the Laureus World Sports Awards for the third year in a row, the organisers announced on Monday. Like last year, the award ceremony will take place at the Cibeles Palace on April 20.

“Since Madrid first hosted the Laureus Awards in 2024, the city has benefited greatly from the work of Laureus Sport for Good,” said the organisers in a statement.

“The 2026 edition will once again unite the world’s sporting community, alongside some of the biggest names in entertainment, culture and fashion. The iconic Laureus statuette will be awarded to one winner in each of seven major categories,” the statement added.

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, said he is looking forward to a sports-filled year in his city.
