Background

The men's 60 metres was contested 35 times before 2025, at every previous edition of the European Athletics Indoor Championships (1970–2023), with the exception of 1972 and 1981, when the 50 metres was held instead. [2] The 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships was held in Omnisport Apeldoorn in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. [3] The removable indoor athletics track was retopped for these championships in September 2024. [3]

Christian Coleman of the United States is the world record holder with a time of 6.34 s, set in 2018. [4] The European record is held by Marcell Jacobs of Italy in 2022. The championship record of 6.42 s was set by Dwain Chambers of Great Britain in 2009.
