San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame Nominations

2026 Public Nominations to Open Early June

The San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame is a partnership between San Antonio Sports, San Antonio Express-News and the City of San Antonio. It was founded in 1995 and recognizes those who have made an impact in the world of sports, either through outstanding athletic achievements or outstanding contributions to athletic programs, and have ties to San Antonio.

Nominations must be received by July 7 to be considered. Nominees must have lived in the greater San Antonio area and have made an impact in their sport, either by competing at the highest possible level or by helping others to do so.

If the nominee is not a greater San Antonio native, his or her primary athletic fame must have come while living in the area. Those still actively participating in their sport are not eligible for consideration. It is not necessary to re-nominate people already on the list below.

Some nominees from past years have been removed from the list because they did not receive the minimum number of votes and will not be eligible for consideration for three years.

Names submitted will be entered into consideration for nomination if they are received by the deadline of July 7.

Once all nominations are received, the selection committee will choose the top five candidates in various categories. The committee’s recommendations are then sent to the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame board of directors for final approval. The class of 2025 will be announced in the fall with the formal induction ceremony on a date to be announced. Plaques of San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame members are on display at the Alamodome.

Once the nomination period closes, the Hall of Fame Voting Panel will submit their votes for the respective year’s induction class. After the inductees are selected by the Selection Committee, there will be a final review of all nominees’ total voting points received and any nominee who fails to receive 15 points in the selection process will be removed from the ballot. Such persons will again be eligible for nomination after three (3) selection processes/years. As stated those individuals who become eligible for consideration as a nominee after three years must be formally nominated again before returning to the ballot.
