The 2027 World Athletics Championships will welcome the biggest stars back to Beijing, 12 years after the Chinese capital successfully hosted the premier athletics event and almost two decades after the Beijing Olympic Games.
12 years after the 2015 World Athletics Championships and almost two decades after the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing will once again host a major international sporting event.

World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said the choice of Beijing was partly commercial, noting that the country’s broadcast consumption of the elite Diamond League circuit in 2023 was the highest at 368.9 million.
“With a population of more than 1.4 billion, China is one of the largest sports markets in the world. This represents a huge opportunity to grow our sport and our fan base in one of the biggest commercial markets in the world,” said Coe.

“With the announcement of Beijing as the next host, our last four World Athletics Championships have now been awarded to the four largest economies in the world: the USA (Eugene), the European Union (Budapest), Japan (Tokyo) and China (Beijing).”

China will host another World Indoor Championships in 2025, to be held in Nanjing. The event was originally scheduled for 2020, but was postponed three times due to the COVID-19 pandemic before being rescheduled for next year.
The last edition of the World Athletics Championships was held in Budapest in August. The next edition will be held in Tokyo in 2025, followed by Beijing in 2027.

Wang Nan, World Athletics Council Member and Vice President of the Chinese Athletics Association (CAA), said: “Thank you to World Athletics for the recognition and trust in China and Beijing.”
