Rowing: Europe's elite gathers in Bulgaria

2025 European Rowing Championships

Plovdiv (BUL), May 29th - June 1st, 2025

The 2025 European Rowing Championships are set to take place in Plovdiv, Bulgaria from 29 May to 1 June, with 517 athletes from 32 countries participating – the biggest contingents coming from Germany, Great Britain, and Romania. As the first senior International Rowing regatta of the season and the first in this post-Olympic and post-Paralympic year, Plovdiv will be an opportunity for European crews to check on the progress they have made in off-season training, and to find their swing in this new cycle. It is also a time for new rowers to come through into the senior ranks following inevitable post-Paris retirements or the usual year off by others.
