The top four meals voted on by fans will advance to the finals. The winner will be selected by a panel of experts and team nutritionists via Instagram Live.

A grand prize of $7,500 will be awarded for charitable donation to charity of winning playerā€™s team located in the teamā€™s community. A second award of $2,500 will be given to a fan vote winner of the final round.

The Global Athlete Cooking Challenge begins on 26 May 2020. A final round with selection of grand prize and fan vote winners begins the week of 1 June 2020, with the winner being announced on 5 June 2020.
