The 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup was the thirteenth season of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup following on from the demise of the SRO Motorsports Group's FIA GT1 World Championship (an auto racing series for grand tourer cars).
The season began on 4 May at Brands Hatch, and ended on 21 September at Circuit Ricardo Tormo.
Calendar The calendar was released on 28 July 2024 at the SRO's annual 24 Hours of Spa press conference, featuring five rounds.
