Track fans, get ready — Noah Lyles, the reigning world champion and 200m king, is officially set to compete at the London Diamond League!

Slated for July 20, 2025, the event at London Stadium will be one of the final major tune-ups before the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo — and Lyles is bringing the heat. “London always brings out the best in me,” Lyles said. “I’m coming for fast times and fireworks.”

What to Expect:

Lyles will likely line up in the 200m, his signature event — but don’t rule out a surprise 100m appearance.

He’ll face fierce competition from stars like Letsile Tebogo, Zharnel Hughes, and Erriyon Knighton.

With the Diamond League title race heating up, this could be a defining moment of the season.

Why It Matters:

Lyles is more than just fast — he’s a showman, a strategist, and a voice for the sport. Every time he steps on the track, expect something special. And with Olympic year energy in the air, London might just see another sub-19.60 performance.

Mark your calendars. The king of sprinting is coming to the UK.
