The 26th annual ESPY Awards take place Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET in Los Angeles. The award show honors the biggest achievements, best teams and athletes in sports, with much of the results determined by an online vote.

This year's ceremony is making history with the first-ever female host — former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick.

Some of the prominent nominees include Yankees' Aaron Judge, Eagles' Nick Foles, Sixers' Ben Simmons and many more.
