The 71st BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards ceremony will take place on Tuesday, 17 December live from MediaCityUK in Salford.
And the six nominees include Jude Bellingham, Luke Littler, Joe Root, Sarah Storey, Alex Yee and Keely Hodgkinson.
England goalkeeper Mary Earps won the award in 2023, but there will be a new name on the trophy this year with Hodgkinson the leading contender.
Hodgkinson, 22, triumphed at the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning gold in the 800m in the Stade de France.
It was Team GB’s first Olympic track title since Mo Farah’s 5,000m and 10,000m double in Rio in 2016, and capped off a sensational season in which she also retained her 800m title at the European Championships.
She could become the fourth woman in a row to claim the SPOTY award following Emma Raducanu in 2021 and Lionesses Beth Mead and Mary Earps in 2022 and 2023.

Teenage sensation Luke Littler is next in the betting markets at 12/5.
Littler, 17, has a chance of becoming the youngest winner of the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year award for more than 60 years.
He reached the PDC World Championship final last January at the age of 16, and has since claimed 10 trophies including the Premier League Darts and the prestigious Grand Slam of Darts.
There’s a huge jump to next contender with Triathlete Alex Yee available at 33/1.
The 26-year-old was crowned both Olympic and world champion, and was also part of the Great Britain team that won bronze in the mixed relay.
Cricketer Joe Root, Paralympian Sarah Storey and England footballer Jude Bellingham complete the list, all offered at 100/1.
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Keely Hodgkinson left her rivals trailing in her wake in Paris this summer and she has certainly done that in our BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award market, as the clear 1/3 favourite following confirmation of the final six nominees.
“Luke Littler, who has risen astronomically up the darts rankings, appears Hodgkinson’s only real challenger in the market at 12/5 and it could well be between the two, with Alex Yee, Joe Root, Sarah Storey and Jude Bellingham all available at much bigger odds.”
