"I am so happy and honored to lead the 2026 Sports Gala. We have a fantastic sports year to remember and celebrate together," says Klüft in a comment.
Måns Zelmerlöw and Carolina Klüft have been presenters of the Idrottsgalan for the past two years, but this year Klüft will be the sole presenter. Zelmerlöw was also presenter in 2023, then together with Pernilla Wiberg.
SVT does not want to comment on why Zelmerlöw is not included next year.
Under the leadership of Carolina Klüft, we are confident that it will be an evening where we relive and celebrate all the magical sporting moments that 2025 offered, says Stephan Rimér, responsible for the Sports Gala, to Sportbladet.
The 2026 Sports Gala will take place on Wednesday, January 21st at the Avicii Arena in Stockholm and will be broadcast by SVT.
