World Youth Day 2027 (Korean: 2027 세계 청년의 날) will be a Catholic festival taking place in Seoul, South Korea. It was announced by Pope Francis at the end of the closing Mass of World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. Following his death in 2025, Pope Leo XIV will lead the event, making it the first World Youth Day under his papacy. It will also be the first World Youth Day to take place in Asia since Manila in 1995, as well as the first to ever be held in a Christian-minority country.
