The 2025 World Modern Pentathlon Championships was held from 26 to 30 August 2025 in Kaunas, Lithuania. [1] This is the first-ever Olympic sport world championship hosted in Lithuania, and it is also the first Pentathlon World Championships to be held primarily indoors. [2] [3]

Format changes

This edition is particularly notable as it follows major structural changes to the sport. As of 2025, obstacle course racing has replaced equestrian show jumping, following UIPM’s reform to ensure the modern pentathlon's continued inclusion in the Olympic program. The 2025 championships will thus showcase the fully integrated new format, which includes fencing, obstacle racing, swimming, and laser-run events. [1] [4]

Laser run events and pentathlon relays were excluded from the championships, as these disciplines now have their own separate world championships from 2025.

For the first time, those who finish in the top six in each of the women’s and men’s individual categories at the World Championships will be rewarded with prize money. [4]
