Media coverage

In the United States, television rights to the championships belong to NBC Sports. China plans to rapidly expand its athletics scope in the coming years, with the country set to host the World Indoor Championships in 2025. With this, the hosting rights of the last four World Athletics Championships have been given to the four most powerful economies of the world, namely the US, the European Union, Japan, and now China.

Eurovision Sport and ESPN jointly hold and distribute World Athletics media rights in Europe and Africa. Warner Bros. Discovery has agreed a deal with World Athletics rights-holders Eurovision Sport and ESPN to broadcast the nine-day event on its channels – Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2 and Eurosport App – including its platform discovery+ on a non-exclusive basis in more than 45 countries across Europe (excluding the Nordics region – Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden). Streaming is available on discovery+ in Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, UK and Ireland.
