The 2025 World Athletics Championships, officially known as the 20th IAAF World Athletics Championships, is a scheduled international track and field competition by World Athletics (formerly known as the International Association of Athletics Federations or IAAF), scheduled to take place from 19 to 27 July 2025 in the National Stadium in Tokyo, Japan.
The competition will be the 20th edition of the World Athletics Championships, and the first to be held in Asia since the 2007 World Athletics Championships in Osaka, Japan. Tokyo was awarded the hosting rights for the 2025 World Athletics Championships in December 2021, after the original hosts, Budapest, Hungary, withdrew due to financial concerns.
