Philadelphia Sports Hall announces
Prestigious 2025 Inductee Class
The Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame proudly announces its 22nd Inductee Class, celebrating another outstanding group of athletes, coaches, contributors, and teams whose legacies have shaped the rich history of Philadelphia sports.
The 2025 Induction Ceremony will take place on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at Live! Casino & Hotel Event Center in South Philadelphia. The public is invited to join the celebration of these remarkable individuals and teams.
This year’s class reflects the Hall’s mission to honor excellence across all sports and eras, ranging from iconic players on championship teams to pioneers who broke barriers in their fields. In addition, the Hall will present the prestigious Philadelphia Medal—reserved for transformational figures whose impact transcends sports—to Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeff Lurie.
"The Hall of Fame recognizes greatness across all sports and all levels," said Kay Magee, Hall of Fame Trustee and member of the Selection Committee. "From football fields to diving platforms, boxing rings to basketball courts, and from Olympic triumphs to the unforgettable 1985 Villanova Men's Basketball Team, this year's Inductees represent the best of Philadelphia’s sports legacy."
Since its founding in 2002, the Hall of Fame has honored more than 300 individuals, teams, venues, and events, spanning Philadelphia’s sports excellence dating back to the 19th century.
