It will be the second time Beijing has hosted the event following the 2015 edition.

## Host selection

Cities that expressed interest in hosting the 2027 World Championships were Beijing, Istanbul, Turkey; Rome, Italy; London, United Kingdom; and Nairobi, Kenya, the latter two both eventually declining to bid. After the Italian Athletics Federation withdrew its candidacy after the government declined to fund the event on February 28 2024, World Athletics president Sebastian Coe announced the decision to award the championships to Beijing.
