The 2025 UK Athletics Championships (formally known as the British Athletics Championships) is the 2025 edition of the annual national championships in outdoor track and field for athletes in the United Kingdom, and also serves as a qualifying event or trials for the 2025 World Athletics Championships. The event was sponsored by Novuna and were held from 2 to 3 August 2025. The championships returned to the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham for the first time since 2019.
The 10,000 metres, marathon and decathlon/heptathlon disciplines to determine the British champions in those events will be held separately, at different venues and dates - in all three cases, they were combined with other athletics events.
World championships qualification
Athletes finishing in the top two of each event will gain automatic selection for the World Championships, on condition they have also achieved the World Athletics qualification standard, or alternatively achieve both the UK Athletics consideration standard for the event and a ranking invitation from World Athletics.Olympics.com report from UK Championships
Further qualification wildcard places are available for reigning world champions from 2023, namely Josh Kerr in the men's 1500 metres and Katarina Johnson-Thompson in the Heptathlon, and for any British winners of the 2025 Diamond League finals. Wild cards are additional to the three places that can otherwise be attained.
2023 World Championship medalists and 2024 Olympic medalists are guaranteed discretionary selection if they have achieved either the World Athletics Qualification Standard or the UK Athletics Consideration Standard and a World Athletics Invitation, and have shown sufficient form.
2023 World Championship individual medalists: Zharnel Hughes, men's 100 metres Matthew Hudson-Smith, men's 400 metres Ben Pattison, men's 800 metres Josh Kerr, men's 1500 metres (wildcard) Keely Hodgkinson, women's 800 metres Katarina Johnson-Thompson, women's heptathlon (wildcard)
