The 2025 calendar sees Paul Ricard Circuit return to the popular weekend format of a 6-hour endurance race to open the season, the format was used between 2015 and 2023 and will act as the season opener.

Circuit Zandvoort and Circuit Ricardo Tormo return to the calendar after one-year absences. Notably, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit will not return in 2025, being replaced by Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as the season closer.[2]

On 14 February 2025, Barwell Motorsport announced their return to the series with Lamborghini for the tenth consecutive season.

On 19 February, AF Corse Francorchamps Motors announced two full-season Pro cars, marking the first time in nine seasons that AF Corse has run a Pro car in the Sprint Cup. The No. 50 car will be driven by former Formula 2 podium finisher Arthur Leclerc at all rounds in 2025.[4] He will be joined by reigning Silver Endurance Cup champion Thomas Neubauer for the Sprint rounds, whilst Antonio Fuoco and Eliseo Donno will accompany the Monégasque for the Endurance rounds.
