World Athletics Championships Beijing 2027
The 21st World Athletics Championships run from 10 to 19 September 2027 at the National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) in Beijing, the city’s second Worlds after 2015 and the first Chinese city to host twice. More than 2,000 athletes from about 200 member federations are expected. The mascot, Jingyan, grows out of 2015’s swallow Yan’er, returning to the nest after 12 years. Tickets are not yet on sale; you can register for the presale on the World Athletics site.
Beijing hosts the Worlds again after 2015. In the stadium you see a sprint’s start, acceleration and finish in one take, and relays add the baton exchange.
Pick your evening once the daily timetable is out.
The high jump knocks athletes out as the bar rises, and the throws compare marks round by round.
In the stands you decide where to look, so an evening is more than the seconds the broadcast cuts to; which events share a session depends on the timetable.
The 2015 Beijing Worlds mascot was the swallow Yan’er; 2027’s Jingyan grows out of it, with kite patterns, Peking Opera make-up and lightning in the design.
The Bird’s Nest was also the main stadium of the 2008 Olympics, so these championships gather three chapters in one venue.
