The
2023 World Aquatics Championships, the 20th edition of the World Aquatics Championships, will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, from 14 to 30 July 2023. Originally scheduled to be held in 2021, the championships were postponed until May 2022 in response to the rescheduling of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was pushed back a second time to 2023 due to ongoing travel restrictions and safety measures in place in Japan. In its place, Budapest hosted the 19th Championships from 18 June to 3 July 2022.
It will be the second time Fukuoka hosts this meet, 22 years after the 2001 World Aquatics Championships.
Venues
Most of the competitions will be held at the Marine Messe, built for the 1995 Summer Universiade and used during the 2001 World Aquatics Championships, also hosted in Fukuoka.
- Marine Messe Fukuoka (swimming, artistic swimming and water polo)
- Fukuoka Prefectural Pool (diving)

Schedule
A total of 75 medal events will be held across six disciplines. The program returns to the traditional schedule with artistic swimming, diving, open water swimming and water polo all competing in the first week, while swimming and high diving get underway the following week.
