==Ceremonies==

===Timing===
Between 1993 and 2001, the ceremony was held each year in either February or March and was broadcast recorded on ESPN.

Between 2002 and 2019 and from 2022 to 2023, the ceremony was held on the Wednesday in July following the [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]], as it marks the only day of the year on which none of the [[Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada|major North American professional leagues]] nor college sports programs have games scheduled. The [[National Basketball Association]], [[National Football League]], and [[National Hockey League]] are not [[season (sports)|in-season]] (though the NBA's post-draft training camp [[NBA Summer League]] is taking place and NFL teams are getting ready for [[Training camp (National Football League)|training camp]]), colleges are [[summer vacation|in recess for the summer]], and MLB does not contest games on the day following its all-star game. Thus, major sports figures (except for those in cycling, which has the [[Tour de France]]; minor league baseball; and golf, where [[The Open Championship]] usually starts that evening) are available to attend. The show aired on the subsequent Sunday four days later, although the results were reported publicly by [[ESPN.com]].

In 2024, the ceremony was conducted on the second Thursday of July.

In 2010, the ceremony was aired live by ESPN for the first time since 2003. In 2015, the ESPY Awards moved to network television, airing on ESPN's corporate sister network [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].

===Location===
The first seven editions of the ESPYs were held in [[New York City]]—in 1993 and 1994 at [[Madison Square Garden]] and from 1995 through 1999, at [[Radio City Music Hall]].  The awards relocated to [[Las Vegas Strip|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]], for two years beginning in 2000, and ultimately settled at the [[Dolby Theatre]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]], [[California]].  In 2006, it was announced that the awards would move in 2008 to the [[Peacock Theater]] (formerly the Microsoft Theater), to be situated as the [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] headquarters of ESPN at [[LA Live]], adjacent to the [[Crypto.com Arena]] in [[Los Angeles]], California.

===Hosts===
The ceremonies have been hosted variously by comedians, television and film actors, and sportspeople.  American film actor [[Samuel L. Jackson]] is the only individual to have hosted four times (in 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2009). Comedian [[Dennis Miller]], actor and singer [[Jamie Foxx]], and talk show host and comedian [[Seth Meyers]] are the only others to have hosted the show more than once.
