The 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup will be the 20th edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the annual international men's youth football tournament contested by the under-17 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It will be held in Qatar from 3–27 November. It will be the first of the five consecutive U-17 World Cups held in Qatar, preceding the 2026, 2027, 2028 and the 2029 tournaments.

This edition will be the opening of the annual cycle adopted by FIFA for the U-17 World Cup and the first to be played in the 48-team format instead of the previous biennial 24-team tournaments. As part of these changes, FIFA also decided to grant Qatar the hosting rights for the tournament for a five-year period from, 2025 to 2029.

Germany are the defending champions, having won their first title in 2023.
