It's promising to be a huge year for sport, with the Olympics in Paris and Euro 2024 in Germany in summer alone.
The year 2024 has already produced a new sporting megastar in the unlikley shape of dart player Luke Littler, and more will surely follow.
Littler is now the favourite to take the trophy for BBC Sports Personality of the Year, even though it will not be presented until December 19.
But plenty could still happen between now and then to influence who succeeds 2023 winner Mary Earps.
Here are the current 10 favourites to take the crown.
9. James Anderson
Widely considered one of the greatest bowlers in cricketing history, James Anderson retired from the sport this year after taking his 700th test wicket during England's tour of India - the first fast bowler to reach the landmark. He's 50/1 for the SPOTY. | Getty Images
10. Helen Glover
Rower Helen Glover was one of the flag bearers for Team GB at the Paris Olympics, alongside fiver Tom Daley. It was a remarkable comeback for the two-time gold medallist, having previously announced her retirement to start a family. | Getty Images
