2025 in sports describes the year's events in world sports.
As an odd-numbered year, 2025 is both a non-Olympic Games and non-FIFA World Cup year. Women's sport takes centre stage in the 2025 sporting calendar with major tournaments in rugby union and cricket. The most prominent quadrennial events for this year are the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup in England and the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup in India.[1]
In men's association football, the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will have its first edition in its new quadrennial format, mirroring other FIFA World Cups, with the former annual format being rebranded as the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. In women's association football, the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 will be held in Switzerland in July. In women's futsal, the 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup will be hosted by the Philippines in November and this will be the first time that the FIFA will host the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup. In men's rugby, the British & Irish Lions will tour Australia while in men's cricket, Lord's Cricket Ground in London will host the 2025 ICC World Test Championship final. Other major events for the year include the Ashes test series between Australia and England for both men and women, the 2025 Ryder Cup in men's golf, the biennial world championships in athletics and aquatics and annual major events in tennis and golf, and annual world championship events in a range of sports including gymnastics, cycling, triathlon, weightlifting and badminton. Winter sports will also hold their annual events, but will also gear up qualification processes for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
As a consequence of the pandemic, an extra edition of the World Athletics Indoor Championships originally planned for 2020 will also be held in 2025 in Nanjing, China. It will be the first time since 2003 that the indoor and outdoor events will occur in the same year, before the indoor championships revert to an even-numbered year schedule in 2026.
In multi-sports, the 2025 World Games for non-Olympic disciplines and events will take place in Chengdu, China while the 2025 Deaflympics, the premier event for the non-Paralympic disability sport classification of hearing impairment will also take place in Tokyo, Japan.
