The World Athletics Council has selected Beijing, China, to host the 2027 World Athletics Championships.
The decision was made at the 234th World Athletics Council Meeting, held in Glasgow ahead of the World Athletics Indoor Championships (1-3 March).
The 2027 World Athletics Championships will welcome the sport’s biggest stars back to Beijing, 12 years on from the Chinese capital’s successful staging of athletics’ flagship event and almost two decades on from the Beijing Olympic Games.
The last edition of the World Athletics Championships was held in Budapest in August, while Tokyo will host the 2025 event.
