The NWSL set the tone for the evening with a clear dress code: Dress to Impress. Anyone planning to attend the Jess Sims NWSL Awards in person should plan their outfit accordingly, since the league made a point of including it in the announcement. Tickets are available now.

A Classroom Nod From the NWSL

The league’s announcement leaned into her Peloton identity. The post opened with “Good morning, class!!!” and introduced her as “your favorite trainer’s favorite trainer,” a playful nod to her role coaching members on the Peloton platform. The caption closed with a rallying “LET’S MOVE!!!!”

Peloton Instructor Jess Sims Adds Another Broadcast Role

hosting assignment adds to her growing list of sports media roles. Earlier this month, she hosted the espnW Summit for the first time. This fall, she also took on an expanded College GameDay role for the show’s 40th season.

Earlier in 2026, The Clip Out covered her Women’s March Madness sideline assignment, her turn hosting ESPN’s Courtside alt-cast at the Women’s Final Four, and her work on ESPN’s Special Olympics USA Games coverage.

Members who take her classes on the Peloton app will see the same coach in a different setting. This time she’s in front of a national soccer audience instead of a studio camera.

With the Jess Sims NWSL Awards set for ESPN2 on November 18, Sims gives her Peloton community one more reason to tune in to women’s soccer’s big night.
