What You Didn’t See on TV at the 2025 ESPYS

From heartfelt speeches to glam after-parties, here’s how sports' biggest names celebrated the 2025 ESPY Awards—onstage and off.

For the after-party, AKJOHNSTON's design drew inspiration from organic motion. To evoke the feeling of an arena, the team anchored each end of the ballroom with custom goal-inspired structures framed in deep blue velvet drape and sleek metallic finishes. Flanking each stage were 12-foot neon radial light sculptures, designed and fabricated in-house, that added height and color and served as stylized 'goal posts.'
