On Tuesday, it was revealed that the New Heights podcast was named Best Sports Podcast during the 2025 iHeart Podcast Awards.
The announcement came from Amazon‘s podcast network, Wondery, which signed a $100 million deal to broadcast the Kelce brothers’ show.
The Kelce brothers aren’t the only winners, however.
Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, earned top honors for her three-month-old show Not Gonna Lie, which won the Best Emerging Podcast award.

Kylie’s podcast launched in December with Wave Sports + Entertainment.
Fans sent their approval of Travis and Jason’s achievement as well as the latter’s wife’s accomplishment.
“Congratulations to all of you! Your win is well deserved!” one wrote.
“Congrats to you all! I love listening every week!!” a second commented.
“Congrats to the Kelce family,” a third added.
The podcast began in September of 2022 and dramatically increased in popularity the following year due to Travis Kelce’s romance with music icon Taylor Swift.
Kelce first wished the relationship into existence during a summer 2023 episode after Swift performed Eras Tour concerts at the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium.
In 2024, New Heights won the same prize during the same award show.
The podcast will also receive the award during next week’s iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles.
Swift will be nominated for 10 categories during the award show, including Artist of the Year and Favorite Surprise Guest.
Travis Kelce The Actor
NFL star Travis Kelce recently landed his first major acting role and has a new cameo
The latter category is a nod to when the 14-time Grammy winner brought Kelce on the stage during one of her London shows last summer.
The Eras Tour moment came months after Swift attended Kelce’s Super Bowl 58 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Things have been different for Kelce when it comes to on-the-field, however, as he experienced one of the worst seasons of his career.
And his Chiefs were blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl last month.
Swift also attended the big game showdown but was booed by Eagles fans.
The pair have since laid low in the spotlight, but Kelce could make an appearance with his significant other at the awards show.
