For 20 years, ESPN and Make-A-Wish® have partnered through the award-winning "My Wish" series, one of the longest-running and most beloved storytelling features on SportsCenter. Since debuting in 2006, My Wish has connected children facing critical illnesses with their sports heroes, sharing nearly 100 inspiring wish journeys with millions of viewers.
Beginning July 19, 2026, My Wish returns with five unforgettable stories, following each child from the initial wish surprise to the moment they meet their sports heroes. The series showcases the hope, strength and joy that wishes can bring to children and families during some of life's most challenging moments.
