BEO Betting Odds are predicting a trend toward Lando Norris being named the winner of BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025 ::: Discover the latest Bet Entertainment Odds predictions for this market.

An Outstanding Year Will Boost His Chances

Lewis Hamilton is well known for breaking many records. For instance, he secured 91 wins in 2020, breaking Michael Schumacher’s record, which likely played a huge part in him picking up the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award for a second time.

Also, he currently holds the record for the most podium finishes, pole positions, and consecutive points finishes in the F1.

However, it is not the only record he has set, as he currently has the most placings for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award, earning two wins and four runner-up finishes.

If Lewis Hamilton wins his eighth Formula 1 World Championship this year and breaks a record or two along the way, he stands a solid chance of accepting the award for the third time in his career.

Betting Odds Place Hamilton as a Strong Contender

Betting odds place Lewis Hamilton firmly in the running for BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025. Yet, he faces some tough competition from athletes in various sports.

At present, F1 star Lando Norris is the frontrunner to win the award with 16.39%, and darts player Luke Littler has an 8.47% chance. However, Hamilton is close behind with an 8.26% chance to win, meaning he is a strong contender.

Of course, there are many months left before the winner is announced, and various athletes could stand in the above sports stars’ way for the award.

Who Else Could Win?

As there are many sporting events on the calendar, many athletes are in contention for BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025.

For instance, if England enjoys success at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, one of its best players could take home the award, such as Lucy Bronze or Leah Williamson.

Also, success at the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 or Women’s Six Nations Championship could result in the first female rugby star receiving BBC Sports Personality of the Year, such as Ellie Kildunne or Sarah Hunter.

Ronnie O’Sullivan has likely got his sights set on winning many more snooker events in 2025, too.

For instance, he could win his seventh World Snooker Championship, the UK Championship, the China Open, The Masters, or the International Championship. If he wins more than one, the odds will likely slash in his favor for BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025.

With many months to go, any of the above athletes and more stand a chance at winning the sought-after award.

Unfortunately, you will need to wait until December to find out who will be crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025. The prestigious ceremony date is likely to be announced later this year.
