2025 Sports Personality of the Year odds

As we pass the halfway stage of 2025, Ladbrokes looks at the 2025 Sports Personality of the Year odds, with Chloe Kelly the new favourite.

Off the back of completing the Career Grand Slam by winning the Masters in April, Rory McIlroy had become the front-runner for this year's award, but recent Euros glory for the Lionesses has seen Chloe Kelly surge out in front - ahead of teammate Hannah Hampton, darts sensation Luke Littler and F1's Lando Norris in the bookies' eyes.

After scoring the winning penalty to secure England their second consecutive Euros trophy, Chloe Kelly's odds to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in December 2025 have been slashed, and she has now edged ahead of Rory McIlroy in what has been a historic year for golf.

Hannah Hampton has also emerged as a contender after her penalty shootout heroics, knocking Luke Littler down to fifth in the bookies' standings.

Littler's chances have been helped by the fact that he won the PDC World Darts Championship final in January, with the teenager becoming the youngest winner of the tournament in history, and he continued his dominance by picking up the World Matchplay in July.

Also in the top seven with odds of 33/1 or shorter are Lionesses Lucy Bronze and Leah Williamson, but it's Kelly who leads the way - with her chances of winning SPOTY getting a huge boost when she slammed home the winning penalty in July's Euros final.

Harvey Watkins of Ladbrokes said:

After an incredible last 18 months, and having won the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship, the bookies initially tipped Luke Littler for Sports Personality of the Year this year, but Rory McIlroy's Major victory and the Lionesses' Euros heroics have made things very interesting - particularly for Chloe Kelly.

Below are all the names running to win this year's Sports Personality of the Year with odds of 40/1 or shorter, with Kelly leading the pack.

Remember, a lot could change between now and the SPOTY awards ceremony in December, as odds for the likes of Lewis Hamilton could look very different when the seasons come to an end.
