The2023 FISU Summer World University Games (Universiade), commonly known asYekaterinburg 2023 orEkaterinburg 2023, was planned to be the 32nd edition of the event, which was to be held from 19 to 31 July 2023 inYekaterinburg, Russia.[1][2]
On 29 April 2022, FISU "suspended" Yekaterinburg's hosting rights for the Games due to theRussian invasion of Ukraine, stating that its hosting of the Games may be "postponed to a later date".[3] In May 2022, FISU postponed the2021 Summer World University Games inChengdu, China, by one more year to 2023 due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in China. While this made Chengdu the host of a World University Games held in 2023, these Games were still officially considered the 2021 Summer World University Games, and therefore the 2023 Games scheduled for Yekaterinburg were cancelled.[4]
To replace the suspended 2023 Summer World University Games, Russian authorities announced that they would host the inauguralUniversity International Sports Festival as a replacement.[5]
