Sports Illustrated is proud to announce its return as a presenting sponsor of the 2nd Annual Sport Images Festival in Deauville, France, opening Saturday, June 6, and running throughout the summer. Sometimes called the “Parisian riviera” thanks to its easy access to the capital, Deauville, situated on a picturesque stretch of the Normandy coast, has served as a favored locale for everything from aristocratic manors to international film productions, as well as the center of France's equestrian community.
As it did last year, the 2026 Sport Images Festival will bring together a wide selection of landmark and iconic photographs, with this year's particular focus on women's sports and competition. Sports Illustrated will showcase over 30 photos from across its 72-year history, including famous cover images of such athletes as Serena Williams, Steffi Graf and Nadia Comaneci.
