Women in Sports Awards 2026 to honor Filipino female athletes

The third edition of the Women in Sports Awards is set to take center stage at the prestigious Philippine International Convention Center on Friday, March 20, in a ceremony dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of Filipino women athletes across all levels of competition. The annual awards aim to not only honor outstanding performances in sports but also to inspire the next generation of female athletes in the country.

Organized jointly by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and the Philippine Commission on Women, the Women in Sports Awards highlights the achievements of top female athletes and recognizes their contributions as role models for both aspiring athletes and the broader public. The awards program also underscores the importance of inclusive sports development and gender equality in Philippine athletics.

PSC commissioner Bong Coo confirmed that a total of 83 awards will be handed out at this year’s star-studded ceremony. “We must really give special attention to our women athletes, including our para athletes—not just the athletes and their coaches, but also those who help build and promote women’s sports. These awards are for those who provide inspiration for all women in sports,” Coo said during a press briefing.
