The 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship will be the thirteenth season of the FIA World Endurance Championship, an auto racing series organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). The series will be open to Hypercars (built under Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) or Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) regulations) and LMGT3 racing cars.

From this season onwards, manufacturers will be required to field at least two cars in the Hypercar class to be allowed to participate. The same rule is already enforced in the LMGT3 category.[1] Furthermore, the maximum grid size for this season has been increased from 37 to 40, to accommodate the increase in entries by Hypercar manufacturers who fielded only one car in the 2024 World Endurance Championship.[2]
Calendar
editThe calendar was announced on 14 June 2024, during the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans weekend. The calendar is unchanged from 2024, with the Imola Circuit featuring on the calendar until at least 2028, with the circuit committing to building additional pit garages.[3]
