The Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025 event will begin at 7 PM IST and will be live-streamed for free on JioHotstar

Indian athletics is set to mark a historic milestone on Saturday, July 5, with the inaugural Neeraj Chopra Classic taking centre stage at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. This one-day international javelin event is not just another competition—it is India’s first-ever World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meet, placing it among the top-tier global track and field events, just a notch below the prestigious Diamond League.

 

Spearheaded by Olympic and World Champion Neeraj Chopra, the meet brings world-class javelin talent to Indian soil for the very first time. The event is expected to attract elite throwers chasing valuable ranking points and qualification marks for the World Athletics Championships, which will be held in Tokyo this September. 

 

 

The NC Classic shares its Gold status with notable global meets like the Ostrava Golden Spike in the Czech Republic, showcasing the growing stature of Indian athletics on the world stage. Much like how Mondo Duplantis hosts his Mondo Classic in Sweden, Neeraj now follows suit, creating a unique legacy-building platform in his home country.
