Live Coverage: World Athletics Championships in Tokyo - Dates, British Times, Schedule, and Broadcast Information for Track and Field Elite Competition
The 2025 World Athletics Championships are set to take place in Tokyo, Japan, from Saturday, September 13, to Sunday, September 21. This marks the 20th edition of the prestigious event, following the successful championships held in Budapest two years ago, where the United States topped the medal table.
The championships will be held at the Japan National Stadium, with all events broadcasted across various platforms. talkSPORT and talkSPORT.com will provide news, views, and reaction to the championships, while the BBC is expected to show the event in the UK. For those preferring online streaming, the World Athletics website will offer live coverage of the event. The full details for television coverage and online streaming can be found on the respective platforms' websites.
Among the British athletes aiming for medal success and top placements across various track events are Josh Kerr, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Georgia Hunter Bell, Keely Hodgkinson, Jemma Reekie, Neil Gourley, Jake Wightman, and Elliot Giles. In the previous edition, Team GB won ten medals, including golds for Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the women's heptathlon and Josh Kerr in the men's 1500 metres.
England's middle-distance runner Georgia Hunter Bell is targeting a medal in the championships. Bell, who prefers to win a medal in one event rather than finishing fifth or making the final in both, believes the 800m event offers more unpredictability, as making the final can lead to unexpected results. She considers the 1500m event highly competitive, with Faith Kipyegon as a formidable opponent.
The events on the first three days of the championships will start at 8am local time, which is midnight in the UK. For days four through seven, sessions will begin at 5:30pm local time, which is 9:30am in the UK. The full timetable of the championships can be found online.
