A Global Celebration of Innovation, Creativity and Impact
In 2026, the ISPO Awards step onto the world stage with renewed ambition - positioning themselves alongside the most prestigious global accolades, celebrating not just excellence in the sporting goods and outdoor industry, but the ideas and innovations shaping their future.
The ISPO Awards spotlight the very best across sport, outdoor and winter sports - spanning products, experiences, and ideas.
From cutting-edge innovations to bold storytelling, next-generation retail concepts, and standout marketing campaigns, the expanded 2026 programme sets a new benchmark for what it means to lead in the industry.
This is more than an awards platform - it’s a global stage rewarding the best in class. A place where brands, creators, and retailers present their most ambitious work to an international jury of experts, tastemakers, and industry leaders. Recognition here signals more than success; it defines cultural and commercial impact.
Winners will be celebrated at a flagship awards ceremony at ISPO 2026 Amsterdam - bringing the global sport and outdoor community together to honour the work that is pushing boundaries and redefining the industry.
With an elevated focus on creativity, innovation, and influence, ISPO Awards 2026 invites those shaping the future of sport and outdoor to step forward. To set the standard. To be seen.
Because the best deserves nothing less than world-class recognition.
