When Is Katie Ledecky Swimming At Worlds? Times And Watch Guide
TOKYO, JAPAN - JULY 28: Katie Ledecky of Team United States celebrates after winning the gold medal ... More in the Women's 1500m Freestyle Final on day five of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Tokyo Aquatics Centre on July 28, 2021 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by) The 2025 World Aquatic Championships are the biggest international aquatics competition since the 2024 Paris Olympics. The event began on Friday, July 11 in Singapore, but the swimming starts this weekend. The competition runs for eight days, from Sunday, July 27 to Sunday, August 3. Swimming fans are used to seeing preliminary sessions in the morning and finals in the evening, though with Singapore 12 hours ahead of Eastern Time, that schedule will be flipped for American viewers. Preliminary sessions begin in Eastern Time at 10:00 pm ET, which means the first session of swimming at the World Championships will be on Saturday, July 26 for American fans. Finals begin at 7:00 am ET throughout the competition. All sessions will air live on Peacock, with NBC showing a delayed highlight broadcast on Saturday, August 3 and Saturday, August 9. Schedule NANTERRE, FRANCE - JULY 29: Kaylee McKeown of Team Australia competes in the Women's 100m Backstroke ... More Semifinals on day three of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Paris La Defense Arena on July 29, 2024 in Nanterre, France. (Photo by) All the events from the 2024 Olympic schedule will be on offer in Singapore, though the schedules are different. The World Championship schedule also features 50-meter races for butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke. World Aquatics announced in April that these events would be added to the 2028 LA Olympics. The only other event change from the Olympic lineup is the mixed 4x100-meter freestyle relay. Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 When To Watch The World Championships' Biggest Stars All dates and times in ET Katie Ledecky NANTERRE, FRANCE - JULY 30:(EDITORS NOTE: Image was captured using an underwater robotic camera.) ... More Katie Ledecky of Team United States competes in the Women's 1500m Freestyle Heats on day four of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Paris La Defense Arena on July 30, 2024 in Nanterre, France. (Photo by) Katie Ledecky arrives at the World Championships in sensational form. She broke her 800-meter freestyle world record from 2016 during an in-season meet in May, swimming 8:04.12. At the same meet, she posted the second-fastest 400-meter and 1500-meter freestyle of her career. She carried that momentum to the 2025 U.S. Nationals, sweeping the distance freestyle events to qualify for her seventh World Championships. Ledecky is in prime position to add to the 26 World Championship medals she has won over the course of her storied career. She could write her name into the history books once again at this meet—a gold in the 800-meter freestyle would make her the first swimmer to win seven consecutive World Championship golds in an individual event. But she will need to have the race of her life to complete the feat as teenage phenom Summer McIntosh has added the event to her Worlds program. In addition to her individual events, Ledecky should swim in the final of the women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay for the United States on July 31. Summer McIntosh NANTERRE, FRANCE - JULY 29: Gold Medalist Summer McIntosh of Team Canada celebrates on the podium ... More during the Swimming medal ceremony after the Women's 400m Individual Medley Final on day three of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Paris La Defense Arena on July 29, 2024 in Nanterre, France. (Photo by) McIntosh dazzled at the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning three gold medals and one silver just three years after making her Olympic debut in Tokyo at just 14 years old. The versatile teenager has taken this year by storm, breaking three world records at the Canadian World Trials. She has also added the 800-meter freestyle to her already crowded schedule this season, putting her at five individual events. McIntosh is aiming to become the first swimmer since Michael Phelps to win five individual gold medals at a single World Championships and her battles with Ledecky in the 400-meter and 800-meter freestyle will be two of her biggest tests on the road to her goal. The first day of the competition will also be crucial, as McIntosh will race the 400-meter freestyle final about 30 minutes before the 200-meter IM semifinals. Despite a busy individual schedule, McIntosh should also take part in at least one of the Canadian women's relays. Léon Marchand NANTERRE, FRANCE - JULY 28: Leon Marchand of Team France celebrates after winning gold in the Men's ... More 400m Individual Medley Final on day two of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Paris La Defense Arena on July 28, 2024 in Nanterre, France. (Photo by) After a stunning home Olympic Games where he won four gold medals—including two in a single session—Léon Marchand is taking a more relaxed approach to the 2025 World Championships. He was originally entered in the four events he won Olympic gold in last summer but French media reported this week Marchand would not swim the 200-meter breaststroke nor the 200-meter butterfly. The report was confirmed by the updated entry book, where Marchand is only entered in the 200-meter and 400-meter IM. The reduced schedule removes a couple of tough doubles for Marchand and gives him a clear shot at Ryan Lochte's 14-year-old 200-meter IM world record (1:54.00). Marchand missed the mark by just six-hundredths in Paris, swimming 1:54.06 to complete his quartet of Olympic golds. Should Marchand break Lochte's world record in Tokyo, he would then own the long-course world record in both the 200-meter and 400-meter individual medley. Gretchen Walsh NANTERRE, FRANCE - AUGUST 04: Gretchen Walsh of Team United States competes in the Women's 4x100m ... More Medley Relay Final on day nine of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Paris La Defense Arena on August 04, 2024 in Nanterre, France. (Photo by) Gretchen Walsh has been on fire since last summer, when she first took over the 100-meter butterfly world record at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials and won four medals at her debut Olympics. Since the 2024 Olympics, Walsh turned in historic performances at the 2024 Short Course World Championships and the 2025 NCAA Championships, the latter of which earned her an ESPY nomination for Best Collegiate Athlete in Women's Sports. Walsh lowered her 100-meter butterfly world record twice during an in-season meet in May, swimming 54.60 in the final to become the first woman under 55 seconds in event history. She qualified for four individual events at the 2025 World Championships and will be a medal threat in all of them. As the world record holder in the women's 100-meter butterfly and the second-place finisher in the 100-meter freestyle at the 2025 U.S. Nationals, Walsh will be a key swimmer for the U.S relays. Along with her four individual events, she should race on the 4x100-meter freestyle and medley relays for both the women's and mixed events.

Boston Celtics alum, broadcaster Brian Scalabrine added to national NBC, Peacock coverage
Former Boston Celtics big man and current Boston broadcaster Brian Scalabrine has been added to NBC Sports and Peacock coverage team for national NBA broadcasts, per recent reporting from the Boston Globe's Chad Finn. But fret not, the champion Celtics center is not abandoning Boston to go national. He will still be on the call with broadcast partner Drew Carter, save for a handful of contests each season. "There might be minor overlaps here and there where I have a national assignment on the night of a Celtics game, but NBC is going to do their best not to affect much if anything locally," said Scalabrine via Finn, who noted that fellow Celtics alum and broadcaster Eddie House would likely fill on one at least some of those dates. "From my understanding, that's what it looks like," added Scal. "I would never leave for ESPN, but the fact that it's NBC is a massive, massive plus for me. I have a lot of respect for the way that NBC Sports Boston treats me, and I'm loving the stuff that they're talking about doing at the big network, so I'm just really excited about the whole opportunity."
