Vote for your Sports Personality Team of the Year

Voting is now open for the Team of the Year award that will be presented at Sports Personality of the Year 2025.

England’s Euro 2025-winning women’s football team, the country’s Women’s Rugby World Cup champions, and the triumphant European Ryder Cup team have been shortlisted for the prize.

Voting will close and the winner will be announced during the live show on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Thursday, 18 December.

Last year, the Team of the Year prize was awarded to all-conquering rugby league side Wigan Warriors.

Below you can vote for the team you think should win – and find out more about the contenders.

England were once again crowned European champions after a penalty shootout win over world champions Spain in the Euro 2025 final in July.

Victory meant the Lionesses became the first senior England football team to win a major trophy on foreign soil.

They did it the hard way – conceding first in all three of their knockout matches and becoming the only side in Euros history to have three different matches go to extra time.

But their never-say-die attitude, and some dramatic interventions by substitutes, helped Sarina Wiegman’s squad become only the second country to retain a Euros title.

England won the Women’s Rugby World Cup in scintillating fashion in September, beating Canada 33-13 in front of a world record crowd of 81,885 at Twickenham.

It was the first time the Red Roses had lifted the trophy since 2014.

In their quarter-final victory over Scotland, they broke their own world record for the longest unbeaten run by an international rugby union side, and extended it to 33 without a loss in the final. Their last defeat came in the 2022 World Cup final.

Earlier in 2025, they won a fourth consecutive Six Nations Grand Slam and a seventh consecutive title.

Europe held off a thrilling American resurgence to claim a Ryder Cup on US soil for only the fifth time, and the first since their legendary ‘Miracle of Medinah’ triumph in 2012.

Luke Donald’s side shrugged off a hostile New York crowd at Bethpage Black to open up a record seven-point lead after two days, having dominated the foursomes and fourballs formats.

They had to show nerve to survive a remarkable United States comeback on the final day, but secured a 15-13 win to make it back-to-back victories.

The Europeans have now triumphed in six of the past eight Ryder Cups.
