10 sports stars to watch in 2026
Yorkshire Evening Post
|January 05, 2026
A football World Cup, the Winter Olympics and numerous grand slams and majors will define the sports stars of 2026.
-
Barcelona's Lamine Yamal. St Helens' George Delaney.
Here the Press Association picks out 10 contenders for headlines across the 12 months to come.
Since making his Barcelona debut at the age of 15 in 2023, Yamal has continued to rewrite the record books for both club and country, and will head into next summer's World Cup as a veteran of the big occasion. Spain will be heavily reliant on the now 18-year-old's audacious talent in north America.
Brookes became the youngest ever snowboard world champion at the age of 16 in 2023 and has continued to rack up podium finishes. She will head to the Winter Olympics in February as arguably Great Britain's strongest bet for a medal in both the women's slopestyle and Big Air disciplines.
