On 29 April 2022, FISU "suspended" Yekaterinburg's hosting rights for the Games due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, stating that its hosting of the Games may be "postponed to a later date". In May 2022, FISU postponed the 2021 Summer World University Games in Chengdu, China, by one more year to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in China. While this made Chengdu the host of a World University Games held in 2023, these Games were still officially considered the 2021 Summer World University Games, and therefore the 2023 Games scheduled for Yekaterinburg were cancelled.
To replace the suspended 2023 Summer World University Games, Russian authorities announced that they would host the inaugural University International Sports Festival as a replacement.
