The Swedish Sports Awards (Swedish: Svenska idrottsgalan) is a show to honor the past year's Swedish sports and athletes' achievements. It is hosted annually at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm in mid or late January. The event was first held in the year 2000.[1]

In the years 2021 and 2022, the event was held in Annexet instead, following the Coronavirus pandemic reducing the number of spectators.[2][3]
