The Sport Hall of Fame recognises the sporting excellence of those who have qualified from King’s or its constituent Colleges. So far over 160 people have been identified who have represented their country.
Every two years, those honoured will be inducted under three categories.

- Commitment to sport: Staff, alumni or students who have brought sustained enthusiasm and commitment to King’s sport which has enabled their sport(s) to survive and thrive.
- Sporting clubs: Clubs which have nurtured their sport, achieved national prominence and spawned multiple internationals (or persons fulfilling criteria for admission into the Hall of Fame.
On Thursday 16 May 2024, students, alumni, staff and honoured guests attended the Great Hall for a reception, hosted by King’s Alumna & Gold Olympic Medallist Dame Katherine Grainger, where a further 14 individuals were inducted into the Hall of Fame.
