Together, the U.S. Parachute Association (USPA), Australian Parachute Federation, British Skydiving and Canadian Sport Parachuting Association announce the second annual World Skydiving Day, taking place on Saturday, July 12, 2025.

In 2024, skydivers around the globe set the inaugural record with 30,351 jumps across 51 countries in just one day. As skydivers around the world aim to break the record, some will also create group formations in the shape of the number two (2) in the sky, acknowledging this second annual event.

“Last year, skydivers from around the world came together to make history, and this year, we’re aiming even higher,” said USPA Executive Director Albert Berchtold. “World Skydiving Day is becoming a global tradition that brings people together through a shared spirit of adventure. Whether it’s your first jump or your thousandth, this is your chance to be part of something bigger than yourself – a worldwide celebration of the sport of skydiving.”
