Celebrate excellence in LGBTQ+ inclusion in Australian sport at the 2026 Pride in Sport Awards!

This year, we honour a decade of progress in LGBTQ+ inclusion across Australian sport at the Pride in Sport Awards. This landmark event will take place at the world-class CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park, marking 10 years of Pride in Sport with a spectacular Anniversary Ball.

Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, premium drinks, and live entertainment, while connecting with athletes, allies, advocates, and changemakers who are shaping the future of sport. Beyond the celebration, the evening also serves as a vital fundraising opportunity, ensuring Pride in Sport can continue its mission to make Australian sport inclusive for LGBTQ+ people.

Widely recognised as a must-attend occasion on the LGBTQ+ sporting calendar, the Awards bring together all areas of the Australian sporting community, along with prolific sporting figures such as Pride in Sport Patrons, Alex Blackwell and Ian Roberts.

Join us for this historic celebration of excellence, inclusion, and community, celebrating the achievements in LGBTQ+ inclusion across Australian sport!
