Anticipate, anxiously waiting for something, be excited to something that will happen later.
Examples:
Most people are looking forward to a good match and hope that it will be safe.
What I was looking forward to hear were dates, statistics and hard facts.
Apart from this, we are all looking forward to welcoming Croatia to this House.

@tong_jian_wei Yes! The "to" there is a preposition, and prepositions are almost always followed by a gerund (‑ING verb form), and because prepositions are normally followed by nouns, the “to” in this expression can be followed by a noun. Like in "I'm looking forward to dinner"
I hope I could help you. These little grammar tricks are quite confusing... It's actually even common for native speakers to commit this mistake and say "looking forward to do" because it sounds like it's right, but it's not 😂😂😂
