Time difference is frequently an issue when it comes to blockbuster global sporting events. Wherever it's taking place, whole nations are bound to miss out on the drama.
This year's edition is beamed from Tokyo, Japan, which is eight hours ahead of the UK, meaning their morning sessions occur overnight in British summer time and their evening sessions begin during our (late) morning cornflakes.
Fear not. BBC is on hand with highlights throughout the day so you won't miss the major moments, you may just have to wait patiently for them.
RadioTimes.com brings you the schedule of World Athletics Championships 2025 highlights on BBC.
