World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025

13 September 2025 - 21 September 2025

The World Athletics Championships Tokyo promises to be one of the most anticipated global sporting events in 2025, with more than 2,000 athletes from 200 countries competing in the Japanese capital city. Scheduled to take place from 13-21 September 2025, this championship will be the 20th edition of the biennial event, and the first to be hosted in Tokyo since 1991.

Tokyo, a city renowned for its efficient infrastructure, rich history, and passion for sports, will once again be in the international spotlight following its successful hosting of the 2020 Summer Olympics. The Japan National Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue that served as the centrepiece for the Olympic Games, will once more be the stage where athletes push their limits in pursuit of gold medals and new world records.

The Tokyo 2025 Championships will feature a wide range of events including sprints, middle- and long-distance running, jumps, throws, and combined events. Standout stars like Armand Duplantis, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen will likely vie for top honours, while new talent is sure to emerge on the global stage.

In addition to the thrilling competition, the World Championships provide an opportunity to celebrate the spirit of athletics, fostering a sense of global unity and showcasing Tokyo’s cultural vibrancy. Fans, both local and international, will enjoy a truly immersive experience, with the city’s extensive transport system making travel between the stadium, fan zones, and tourist attractions seamless.
