This year’s awards show will be hosted by Russell Wilson, Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird. As with previous years, the 2020 ESPYS will feature presentations of the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, the Pat Tillman Award for Service and the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance awards. Cleveland Cavaliers’ All-Star Kevin Love is slated to win the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage for his work in the mental health and wellness arena.
While news of Love’s award is already out, fellow honorees have been left in the dark in an effort to make the show interesting. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “the producers hope to show the winners getting a call informing them of the honor at the same time the audience finds out. That involves colluding with family and team members to lure them to a video screen at the appropriate moment.”
“While this is an extraordinary time to be producing an awards show, the ESPYS has always strived to meet the moment — to tackle the issues and stories most relevant and meaningful to our athletes and their fans. This year will be no exception,” said Jeff Smith of MaggieVision Productions, executive producer of the ESPYS. “There will still be sports highlights and comic relief, but this year’s show will be more focused than ever on elevating the voices of athletes and shining a light on the inspiring work they do, on the field and off.”
Viewers can expect appearances by their favorite celebrities and athletes, including Halle Berry, Simone Biles, Tom Brady, Sterling K. Brown, Pau Gasol, Lewis Hamilton, Steve Kerr, Keegan-Michael Key, Tracy Morgan, Shaun White, Kyle Lowry, Matthew McConaughey and more.
