BBC Sport has unveiled its inaugural end-of-season football awards, recognizing standout performers across the Premier League, Women's Super League, Scottish Premiership and EFL for the 2025-26 campaign. The honors celebrate players who delivered exceptional performances regardless of their teams' overall success, from title contenders to those shining in difficult circumstances.

A panel of former professionals and expert pundits determined the winners, including Chris Sutton, Danny Murphy, Theo Walcott, and Shay Given. The voting committee also featured Ellen White, Fara Williams, Pat Nevin, Dion Dublin, Glenn Murray, and Nedum Onuoha, bringing diverse perspectives from both men's and women's football.

These awards mark BBC Sport's first comprehensive recognition of the season's best across England's top four tiers and Scotland's premier division. By including the Women's Super League alongside the men's competitions, the initiative acknowledges the growing prominence of women's football and provides equal recognition for outstanding contributions across all levels.

The awards serve as a definitive snapshot of individual excellence during a memorable season, highlighting performances that shaped outcomes in all four competitions. Fans now have an official BBC-endorsed list of the campaign's most influential players.
