The LMGT3 category went to TF Sport's No. 33 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R of Nicky Catsburg, Jonny Edgar and Ben Keating, the tenth class win for the American brand.

Testing Prior to the race, all entrants were required to participate in a test day, which took place on 7 June.

The 62 cars were given six hours of track time across two sessions, running from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 15:30 to 18:30 CEST (UTC+02:00). In the Hypercar class, Tom Gamble in the #007 Aston Martin THOR Team Valkyrie set the fastest lap of the day with an afternoon time of 3:26.293, narrowly short of the 2025 benchmark. Brendon Hartley in the #8 Toyota and Norman Nato in the #12 Cadillac rounded out the top three, with all eight manufacturers split by 0.915 seconds. The #15 BMW M Team WRT turned the most laps of any car during the test day, with 86 laps or . A crash during the morning session saw damage to the #8 Toyota and #25 Algarve Pro Racing, as rookie Jake Hughes spun on cold tyres at the Dunlop Curve and hit Ryo Hirakawa. In LMP2, Job van Uitert in the #28 IDEC Sport set the fastest time of 3:35.344, just ahead of Mathias Beche, who was quickest in LMP2 Pro-Am aboard the #14 TDS Racing. In LMGT3, silver-rated Francesco Castellacci topped the times with a 3:56.646 in his #54 Vista AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo.

A number of reserve drivers also turned laps at the test day, including Toyota's Esteban Masson, BMW's Philipp Eng and Genesis' Jamie Chadwick, who became the first woman to drive a Hypercar at Le Mans. Porsche and McLaren factory driver Laurens Vanthoor was a late addition to United Autosports' LMP2 roster and drove the #22 Oreca 07.
