Different seasons, different stages — now one evening in Lucknow, as TOISA 2025 gathers its nominees on March 21.
The eighth edition of the Times of India Sports Awards arrives at The Centrum Hotel, Lucknow on March 21, 2026 with a field that feels less like a nominee list and more like a snapshot of a year that refused to stay in one lane. There are the women who powered India to an ODI World Cup title, and a Champions Trophy-winning core that reasserted white-ball dominance with the T20 World Cup triumph. And then there are the athletes who quietly stacked medals across continents — from double gold at the Asian Athletics Championships to podium finishes at the World Para Athletics Championships.
TOISA, now in its eighth year, has settled into its place on the sporting calendar, not as a spectacle, but as a space where different strands of Indian sport are brought into the same frame. This year, that frame opens up, with the ceremony welcoming the public for the first time.
