The 2025 FIA Formula 3 Championship is a planned motor racing championship for Formula 3 cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The championship will be the sixteenth season of Formula 3 racing and the seventh season run under the FIA Formula 3 Championship moniker. FIA Formula 3 is an open-wheel racing category serving as the third tier of formula racing in the FIA Global Pathway. The category is scheduled to be run in support of selected rounds of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship. As the championship is a spec series, all teams and drivers competing in the championship will run the same car, the Dallara F3 2025.

Prema Racing will enter the season as the reigning Teams' Champions, having secured their title at the penultimate race of the 2024 season at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

2025 will see the introduction of a new Dallara-built chassis, with the championship retiring the Dallara F3 2019 it had used since its inaugural season in 2019.

### Calendar changes

[edit]

## Regulation changes

[edit]

### Technical regulations

[edit]

The season will see the introduction of a brand new chassis and engine package.[2] The Dallara F3 2019 chassis, which had been used by FIA Formula 3 since 2019, will be replaced by the Dallara F3 2025.

## Results and standings

[edit]

### Scoring system

[edit]

Points will be awarded to the top ten classified finishers in both races. The pole-sitter in the feature race will also receive two points, and one point will be given to the driver who set the fastest lap in both the feature and sprint races, provided that driver finished inside the top ten. If the driver who set the fastest lap is classified outside the top ten, the point will be given to the driver who set the fastest lap of those inside the top ten. No extra points will be awarded to the pole-sitter in the sprint race as the grid for it will be set by reversing the top twelve qualifiers.

Sprint race points
