The 2021 Weltklasse Zürich was an outdoor track and field meeting in Zürich, Switzerland. Held on 8–9 September 2021 at the Letzigrund, it served as the finals of the 2021 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit. It was the first time that Zürich exclusively hosted the Diamond League finals, as the 2020 Diamond League finals were cancelled due to COVID-19.[1] It was also hailed as the best single-weekend track and field event of the year 2021.[2]
