2024 ESPYS Awards Nominees Revealed Featuring Caitlin Clark, Mahomes, Ohtani and More (2024)

Caitlin Clark, Patrick Mahomes and Shohei Ohtani are among the superstar athletes nominated for this year's ESPYS.

Clark is the only athlete nominated for three awards: Best Athlete, Women's Sports; Best College Athlete, Women's Sports and Best Record-Breaking Performance (becoming the NCAA's all-time scoring leader).

Mahomes and Ohtani have been nominated for Best Athlete, Men's Sports as well as the Best Athlete in NFL and MLB, respectively. Mahomes' team, the Kansas City Chiefs, has also been nominated for Best Team.

Clark, now a star guard for the Indiana Fever, earned back-to-back consensus collegiate player of the year honors and broke a host of records at Iowa, including the aforementioned NCAA Division I all-time scoring record (women's or men's) after surpassing "Pistol" Pete Maravich's mark. She also holds the NCAA tournament's all-time career points record as well.

Clark joins Coco Gauff, Nelly Korda and A'ja Wilson for the Best Athlete, Women's Sports honor.

Gauff has enjoyed a great year on the tennis court since last summer, winning her first major singles title (2023 U.S. Open) and doubles Grand Slam (2024 French Open, with Kateřina Siniaková).

Korda has six LPGA Tour titles in 2024, including a major (the Chevron Championship). That win capped five straight victories for the 14-time tournament victor.

Wilson is now a back-to-back WNBA champion after leading the Las Vegas Aces to the title last year. The 2023 WNBA Finals MVP and two-time WNBA MVP averaged 21.3 points and 12.5 rebounds per game versus the New York Liberty in the championship round.

Mahomes and Ohtani are part of a loaded category honoring the best athlete in men's sports.

Mahomes just won his third Super Bowl in five years with the Chiefs, earning Super Bowl MVP honors for the third time along the way. He threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns (including the game-ender) versus the San Francisco 49ers to clinch the Lombardi Trophy.

Ohtani won the American League MVP award for the second time in three years last season, dominating at the plate and on the mound for the Los Angeles Angels. He's now an L.A. Dodger and has continued his offensive success, leading the National League in home runs, batting average and OPS.

Scottie Scheffler has six PGA Tour victories to his name this year, including his second-ever Masters and second straight Players Championship. He just won the Traveler's Championship on Sunday for No. 6.

Edmonton Oilers superstar and three-time Hart Trophy winner Connor McDavid just had 42 points in 25 playoff games for the Western Conference winners, earning the Conn Smythe Trophy for his Herculean efforts.

The entire nominee and award slate can be found below. Fans can cast their vote at ESPN.com/ESPYS. Voting will close for all categories at 5 p.m. ET on July 11.

Serena Williams, winner of 23 Grand Slam women's singles titles, will host the ESPY Awards, which will begin on July 11 at 8 p.m. ET in Los Angeles and air on ABC.
