The 2025 Canada Summer Games (), known informally as St. John's 2025, was a national multi-sport event celebrated in the tradition of the Canada Games, as governed by Canada Games Council (CGC). The Games were held August 9 to 24, 2025 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. These games were the 15th edition of the Summer Games, and 30th overall. These were the third Canada Games hosted by Newfoundland and Labrador (1977 and 1999), and the second in the city of St. John's (1977). The Games were held at venues in St. John's and other surrounding communities, with a total of 17 sports (19 disciplines).
Bidding process Originally Newfoundland and Labrador was scheduled to host the 2021 Canada Summer Games (later postponed to 2022), but in October 2015 switched with Ontario. In February 2020, the bid process was launched, with the province appointing St. John's as the preferred community to host. The bid process included two steps and would conclude with a decision of hosting a year later. In April 2021, it was announced the city of St. John's was successful in its bid to host the Games.
Venues A total of 22 sport venues were used for the Games.
The Fortis Canada Games Complex was a newly built venue for the Games. The $34 million project featured a Class II IAAF Certified Track & Field including a 400m 8-lane track, a FIFA Quality Pro certified artificial soccer turf, and an indoor training facility for the development of amateur level sport in Newfoundland & Labrador. This included an indoor warm up track, a timing building located on the finish line, and an accessible walking path around the entire track.
Due to wildfires in the area, some events had to change venues. Beach volleyball events were postponed due to the partial evacuation of Paradise, as well as the sailing events scheduled for Conception Bay South. Lacrosse matches were moved to the DF Barnes Arena in St. John's, and soccer games to the Fortis Canada Games Complex and King George V Park, also in St. John's.

Sports A total of 240 events over 17 sports and 19 disciplines were held. The majority of sports were confirmed in April 2019, when 14 sports and 16 disciplines were announced. Rugby sevens (both genders) was the host choice sport, and women's baseball and golf were added in October 2022 as the final events to round out the program. Events in athletics, road cycling, and swimming have para-sports events contested, with athletics and swimming having Special Olympics competitions also. Artistic swimming made its Canada Summers Games program debut, after only being featured at Winter editions in the past. Women's baseball also made its Canada Games debut. Rowing and triathlon were dropped from the sport program compared to the previous edition of the Games.
