The 2025 Philadelphia Slam was an outdoor track and field meeting held from May 31 – June 1 2025 in Franklin Field, Philadelphia, United States.[1] It was the third meet of the 2025 Grand Slam Track season, the debut season of Michael Johnson's Grand Slam Track league.

This meeting had a condensed schedule compared to the 2 previous meetings, moving from a 3-day event to a 2-day event. Another change occurred in the long distance category for both men and women, which was changed to be single race, with athletes now only running the 3000 metres for half the prize money.[2]
