The 2025 World Para Athletics Championships was a para-athletics meet organised by the World Para Athletics of the International Paralympic Committee. This was the 12th edition of the event and was held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi from 27 September to 5 October 2025. This was the first time the event was hosted in India.
Background Logo and mascot The logo and mascot for the 2025 edition were unveiled on 20 June 2025. The mascot named Viraaj is a spirited young elephant with a blade prosthesis – is a tribute to strength, optimism, and resilience, while the logo captures India's rich heritage, the spirit of Para athletics and the vibrancy of New Delhi as host city. Medals The front side of the medal features intricate motifs inspired by traditional Indian art, centring on the championship’s name and Para athletics icons: a wheelchair racer, a discus thrower, and the lotus – India's national flower. The other side highlights inclusivity, with Braille above the “New Delhi 2025” inscription, a lotus-inspired pattern, and bold modern geometric details.
Schedule The competition will be held over 9 days, with two sessions (morning and evening) being conducted each day. Event Summary

T/F 51–58: Athletes who have a spinal cord injury or disability. In field events, most athletes would compete in seated events. T/F 61–64: Athletes who have a prosthesis affected by limb deficiency and leg length difference.
