Amy Hunt Out In Front As Contenders Take Shape
Amy Hunt is the evens favourite with UK Betting Sites to win this year's prestigious BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, with a host of other big names featuring across the rest of the market.
bet365 have the full market priced up, with the book closing on 18 December at 19:00 giving plenty of time yet for prices to move as the year's major sporting events play out.
It's a varied field too, spanning sprinting, middle-distance running, football, golf, darts and Paralympic swimming, which is very much in keeping with an award that's always tried to reflect the full breadth of British sport rather than favouring any single discipline.
Hunt's evens price gives her an implied 50.0% chance of winning the award outright, putting real distance between her and the rest of the field this early on.
BBC Sports Personality Of The Year 2026 Odds
| BBC Sports Personality Of The Year 2026 | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Amy Hunt | EVS | 50.0% |
| Josh Kerr | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Harry Kane | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Matt Weston | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Saffie Osborne | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Luke Littler | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Sprinter Amy Hunt has been one of the standout British athletes of the year, and it shows in just how short her price already is compared to the rest of the market.
Middle-distance runner Josh Kerr follows at 3/1 (25.0%), with England captain Harry Kane next at 5/1 (16.7%).
Paralympic swimmer Matt Weston sits at 9/1 (10.0%), representing one of the more unheralded disciplines in this year's field, while golfer Saffie Osborne and darts sensation Luke Littler are tied as the current outsiders at 16/1 (5.9% apiece).
Kane's Ballon d'Or Boost
Harry Kane is the current favourite for this year's Ballon d'Or award, and that could see his odds slashed for the SPOTY in December.
Kane is expected to win the prestigious football prize for the first time in his career later this year.
Winning it would surely see his odds tumble for Sports Personality of the Year as it would crown him as the best footballer there has been in 2026.
