This award recognises an outstanding limited-series sports podcast, defined by a clear narrative, investigative or thematic focus delivered across a set number of episodes. It celebrates podcasts designed as a self-contained series, often exploring a specific story, issue, event or subject in depth. Entries should demonstrate strong storytelling, structure and editorial ambition, using sport as a lens to inform, engage and captivate audiences.

“Limited series” refers to the intentional design of a podcast with a defined beginning, middle and end. Podcasts may be audio-only or video-led.

Judges are looking for clear narrative or editorial concept of the theme with strong storytelling and structure across episodes. It must have originality and depth of subject matter with effective pacing and use of audio. The impact must clearly demonstrate the audience responses and deeper understanding of the subject of the pod.

Entries should consist of a showreel of clips lasting no more than 30 minutes in total (audio or video), and a supporting statement of no more than 250 words, outlining the series concept and scope, the editorial approach and the impact made during 2025. Entrants may also include a link to the full series, where available (must be accessible to judges), and a track listing for judges to follow (not included in the 250-word statement).
