The 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, held from September 13 to 21, can be watched live and on-demand primarily via NBC Sports, USA Network, CNBC, and the Peacock streaming service in the United States. The events will air on NBC Sports with additional coverage on USA Network and CNBC, and all sessions will be streamed live on Peacock. For viewers in other countries, broadcasters like BBC (UK), RTÉ (Ireland), CBC (Canada), SBS and Channel 9 (Australia) offer live and free coverage. World Athletics also provides live streams on their platform, but geo-restrictions might apply. Using a VPN can help access streams when away from the home country service. Most of the events are scheduled to be broadcast in the mornings or evenings due to the time difference with Tokyo.
In summary, how to watch depends on the viewer's location:
- In the US: NBC Sports and Peacock.
- In the UK: BBC and TNT Sports (Discovery+).
- In Ireland: RTÉ.
- In Canada: CBC.
- In Australia: SBS and Channel 9.
- On World Athletics official live streams (geo-restricted).
- VPN can be used to access home country streams when abroad.
This ensures comprehensive coverage of all events during the championships.
