The 2027 World Athletics Championships (Chinese: 2027年世界田徑錦標賽) will be the twenty-first edition of the World Athletics Championships and are scheduled to be held in the National Stadium in Beijing, China.[1] [2] It will be the second time Beijing has hosted the event following the 2015 edition.
Host selection
[edit]Cities that expressed interest in hosting the 2027 World Championships were Beijing, Istanbul, Turkey; Rome, Italy; London, United Kingdom; and Nairobi, Kenya, the latter two both eventually declining to bid. After the Italian Athletics Federation withdrew its candidacy after the government declined to fund the event on February 28 2024, World Athletics president Sebastian Coe announced the decision to award the championships to Beijing.[3]

Media coverage
[edit]In the United States, television rights to the championships belong to NBC Sports. China plans to rapidly expand its athletics scope in the coming years, with the country set to host the World Indoor Championships in 2025. With this, the hosting rights of the last four World Athletics Championships have been given to the four most powerful economies of the world, namely the US, the European Union, Japan, and now China.[5]
Eurovision Sport and ESPN jointly hold and distribute World Athletics media rights in Europe and Africa. Warner Bros. Discovery has agreed a deal with World Athletics rights-holders Eurovision Sport and ESPN to broadcast the nine-day event on its channels – Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2 and Eurosport App – including its platform discovery+ on a non-exclusive basis in more than 45 countries across Europe (excluding the Nordics region – Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden). Streaming is available on discovery+ in Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, UK and Ireland.[6]
