Australia will once again play host to the season-opener on weekend of 6-8 March followed by China, Japan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Miami GP as the opening six rounds of the 2025 season remain in its exact order next year.

Canada however has moved from its traditional June slot to the weekend of 22-24 May, thereby clashing with the iconic Indy 500 in a move destined to split motorsport fans.
