The ceremony will be broadcast live from MediaCityUK in Salford. And Express Sport is on hand with all the information ahead of the show.<\/p>\n<h3>Which sports stars are on the shortlist?<\/h3>\n<p>The shortlist for the 2023 SPOTY award was revealed on Tuesday, 12 December and comprises cricket ace Stuart Broad, jockey Frankie Dettori, football star Mary Earps, wheelchair tennis player Alfie Hewett, athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson and golf genius Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n<h3>Who will win the award?<\/h3>\n<p>Mary Earps is the overwhelming favourite to win this year\u2019s award after starring for England at the Women\u2019s World Cup in the summer. The 30-year-old saved a penalty from Jennifer Hermoso in the final but couldn\u2019t prevent her team losing in the showpiece event as Spain were crowned champions.<\/p>\n<p>Earps also hit the headlines after speaking out against Nike for their decision not to sell any goalkeeper shirts throughout the tournament. Nike ultimately reversed their decision, with the jersey selling out within five minutes after it was eventually put on sale.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>&#8216;I think Red Bull expert behind Max Verstappen&#8217;s success should win BBC SPOTY&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/5121701.jpg?r=1702929150400\"><\/p>\n<p>Broad is the second favourite to win the award, with Johnson-Thompson and Dettori next in the running.
