Submit your nomination today. ##### [ENTER HERE!](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZ2XQ_a4VwZzgYdYlN7ChXPoznLOYVByeoBVm6-_tWbrbBrw/viewform) The Football Content Awards celebrate the very best in football media and digital content. From independent creators and fan channels to clubs, publishers, podcasts, broadcasters and thriving football communities, the FCAs recognise the individuals and organisations shaping the future of football content. Nominations are completely free to enter, but a compelling submission can make all the difference. The information you provide helps our judges understand your work, its impact and why it deserves to be recognised among the very best in the industry. ###### What's New for 2026? For 2026, the Football Content Awards category line-up has been refreshed to reflect the ever-evolving world of football content. This year sees the introduction of **Best Written Football Content**, celebrating outstanding articles, features, analysis, editorial work and website-led football coverage. We've also introduced **Best World Cup Coverage**, recognising the creators and organisations producing exceptional content around the biggest football tournament on the planet. These updated categories provide creators, clubs, publishers, broadcasters, podcasts, fan communities and organisations with even clearer pathways to showcase their work and gain the recognition it deserves. ##### Step 1: Submit a Nomination Complete the official FCA 2026 nomination form to enter yourself, your organisation or someone whose work deserves recognition. Each nomination should include: - The nominee's name - The category being entered - A short description of the nominee - Why the nomination deserves recognition - Relevant links to content, channels, websites or social platforms This is your opportunity to showcase what makes the content unique, highlight its impact and explain why it stands out from the crowd. ##### Step 2: Review And Shortlisting Once nominations close, entries will be reviewed, cleaned and organised by category. The judging panel will then assess the nominations and help determine the final shortlists. Judges will review the information submitted, alongside relevant public content and supporting links. ##### Step 3: Judging Criteria  Nominations will be assessed as follows: **Quality** The standard of the content, production, writing, presentation or creative execution. **Consistency** Regular output and sustained quality across the year. **Innovation** Originality in format, approach, voice, platform use or creative idea. **Audience Engagement** The ability to build, retain and connect with a football audience. **Impact** The wider influence or importance of the work within football content, media or fan culture. ##### Step 4: Choosing Winners The final award winners will be decided through a combination of judging and public voting. The judging process helps determine quality, impact and shortlist strength, while the public vote gives fans and audiences the chance to support their favourites. This ensures the awards reflect both industry recognition and audience support. ##### Step 5: Awards And Recognition Winners will be announced live at the Football Content Awards 2026 this November. Across the main categories, Gold, Silver and Bronze honours will be recognised. The **Hall of Fame Award** will be treated separately from the main public categories and will recognise long-term contribution to football content, media and digital football culture. #### Submit Your Nomination Think your content deserves recognition? Know a creator, club, podcast, publisher, fan channel or organisation that should be celebrated?
