The 2025 United States presidential inauguration will take place on Monday, January 20, 2025, on the West Front of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The event will be the 60th presidential inauguration. The winner of the 2024 United States presidential election is expected to take the oath of office as the 47th president on that day, and the winner's running mate is expected to take the oath of office as the 50th vice president.
The preceding ceremony for the inauguration of Joe Biden was largely curtailed due to extraordinary political, public health, economic, and national security crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and January 6 Capitol attack.
