The parade, which was to have been held a century after the 1920 Battle of Warsaw, was scheduled to take place in the centre of the Polish capital on August 15.
The event was being organized by the defence ministry, with Polish soldiers and troops from allied countries expected to take part.
The Battle of Warsaw was fought from August 12 to 25 in 1920 as Red Army forces commanded by Mikhail Tukhachevsky approached the Polish capital. Polish forces led by Marshal Józef Piłsudski counterattacked, forcing the Soviets to withdraw.
Many say the battle, often described as the “Miracle of the Vistula,” was one of the world’s most important.
A host of cultural, religious and military events are expected to be held throughout Poland this year to celebrate the landmark battle, which is believed to have saved the nation's newly regained independence after the end of World War I and prevented the Bolshevik revolution from spreading into western Europe.
Poland reported a new record daily rise in coronavirus infections on Tuesday, confirming 680 new cases, the most since the pandemic hit the country in early March.
