The men's 1500 metres at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics was held at the London Olympic Stadium on 10, 11, and 13 August.

From the gun in the final, the Kenyan team took charge as Elijah Manangoi from the inside and Timothy Cheruiyot from the outside squeezed the pack behind their wall.

After a moderate lap, controlling the pace, Kiprop moved forward and the two leaders accelerated to a quick five metre breakaway.

Coming off the turn, Manangoi displayed some of his reputed 46 second (400) speed, running past his teammate and on to a 2-metre victory.

Three metres behind, Mechaal made a serious move to try to get ahead of Ingebrigtsen, trying to pass in the narrow space on the inside.
