World Aquatics Championships 2025: How to Watch and Full Schedule

Live coverage of the 2025 World Aquatics Championships, which include swimming, diving, water polo, artistic swimming, open water swimming, and high diving, will be available on Peacock from Singapore from July 11 to August 3.

The first sport to compete is water polo.

The U.S. women’s water polo team won three Olympic titles before finishing fourth at the Paris Games after winning five of the previous six world championships.

The U.S. men are aiming for their first-ever podium finish at the world championships after taking home their first Olympic medal in 16 years (bronze).

The United States just won silver in the team event, their first Olympic medal in 20 years in artistic swimming. At the world championships, separate medals are given for the team, women’s and mixed duets, solo men and women’s technical and free performances, and an additional acrobatic routine.

Events for pool swimming and diving begin on July 26.

China won all eight Olympic program diving events in 2024, including the World Championships and the Games in Paris.

The majority of the Olympic swimming stars from Paris, including Americans Katie Ledecky, Torri Huske, and Kate Douglass, Canadian Summer McIntosh, and Frenchman Leon Marchand, compete in the event.

The matchup between Ledecky and McIntosh in the 800-meter free final (Aug. 2) is one of the most anticipated events. In the same event, Ledecky may become the first swimmer to win a seventh global title. McIntosh’s swam performance last month came only 95 hundredths of a second short of Ledecky’s new May world record.

Gretchen Walsh, an American, might swim eight events at these championships after breaking 11 world records (including relays) and winning seven gold medals at the short course worlds last December.
