Serena Williams to Host 2024 ESPY Awards for ESPN​

Serena Williams will be the host of the 2024 ESPY Awards. ESPN announced the pick of the tennis legend as this year’s ESPYS host during Disney’s upfront presentation to advertisers Tuesday, with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest breaking the news on stage. The event will be held July 11. Williams, of course, retired from professional tennis nearly two years ago.

The ESPY Awards are ESPN’s annual awards show celebrating the best of sports. Last year Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James were among the big winners, and for the first time the program went without a host (due in part to the ongoing Writers Guild strike).
