Joey Logano enters the season as the defending Cup Series chanpion.

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series will be the 77th season for NASCAR professional stock car racing in the United States and the 54th season for the modern-era Cup Series. The season will start with the Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium on February 2 at Bowman Gray Stadium, followed by the Bluegreen Vacations Duel on February 13, and the 67th running of the Daytona 500 (the first points race of the season) on February 16, both at Daytona International Speedway. The season will end with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway on November 2.

The 2025 season will be the first year under NASCAR's new TV deal that will take place until 2031. FOX will broadcast 12 races,[a] while NBC will broadcast 14 races. Amazon and TNT will broadcast five races each.[1] In addition, the season will mark the debut of NASCAR's in-season tournament.[2]

This will be the first season without Tony Stewart's ownership of Stewart–Haas Racing,[3] Gene Haas, the other co-owner of SHR, announced he would retain the team and rebrand it as Haas Factory Team for 2025.[4] This will also be the first season without 2017 champion Martin Truex Jr. as a full-time driver, as he announced his retirement from full-time racing on June 14, 2024.[5]

Joey Logano of Team Penske will enter the season as the defending 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion.[6]
