An isometry of a Finsler space is called Clifford-Wolf translation (CW-translation) if it moves all points the same distance. A Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous (CW-homogeneous) if for any $x, y\in M$ there is a CW-translation $\sigma$ such that $\sigma (x)=y$. We prove that if $F$ is a homogeneous Finsler metric on the sphere $S^n$ such that $(S^n, F)$ is CW-homogeneous, then $F$ must be a Randers metric. This gives a complete classification of CW-homogeneous Finsler metrics on spheres.
