World Athletics Championships: How to watch and live stream, who’s competing, what’s the schedule

The 2023 World Athletics Championships are almost here.

The nine-day event in Budapest, Hungary, which runs from August 19-27, will offer an indication as to which athletes are in form ahead of next year’s Paris Olympics Games.

Among the stars competing will be Zharnel Hughes, Keely Hodgkinson, Dina Asher-Smith, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Faith Kipyegon, and Armand Duplantis.

But how can you watch the 2023 World Athletics Championships?

Radzi Chinyanganya, a key face of Eurosport’s coverage of Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022, will present coverage from the National Athletics Centre with former British athlete Iwan Thomas – a 4x400m world champion from 1997 – and Robert Korzeniowski, the Polish four-time Olympic gold medallist in walking, providing analysis and expertise.

Caroline de Moraes and Elisa Lukawski will also be on-the-ground reporting on the action in Budapest and interviewing all of the key athletes involved in the World Championships.

Zharnel Hughes, Keely Hodgkinson and Dina Asher-Smith look set to be the headline names in Great Britain’s team.

Hodgkinson won silver in the 800m at last year’s World Athletics Championships while Asher-Smith will be aiming for success in the 100m and 200m.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson will be competing in the heptathlon as she looks to build for Paris 2024 following injury issues.

The 2023 World Athletics Championships will see sprinters, long-distance runners, hammer throwers, long jumpers, and more compete for medals.
