The 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS was a motor racing championship for GT3 cars, marking the 12th edition of the GT World Challenge Europe. Organised by the SRO Motorsports Group, it formed the European part of the broader GT World Challenge, which also includes GT World Challenge America, GT World Challenge Australia and GT World Challenge Asia.
The championship split into the Endurance Cup and the Sprint Cup, each with their own respective titles, alongside the overall GT World Challenge Europe championship. The season took place over ten rounds at various European circuits. The annual season prologue, which acted as the championship's pre-season testing, took place between 10 and 11 March, with testing for the 24 Hours of Spa occurring between 13 and 14 May. Racing commenced in April and concluded in October.
Calendar All Sprint Cup rounds consisted of two one-hour races, totalling 15 races throughout the season, alongside the single 3-hour (Monza, Nürburgring and Barcelona), 6-hour (Paul Ricard), or 24-hour (Spa) races in the Endurance Cup rounds.

Calendar changes The 2025 calendar saw Circuit Paul Ricard return to the popular weekend format of a 6-hour endurance race to open the season. The championship used this format between 2015 and 2023, and it acted as the season opener.
Circuit Zandvoort and Circuit Ricardo Tormo also returned to the calendar after a one-year absence. Notably, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit did not return in 2025, being replaced by Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as the season closer, which reverted to the Endurance Cup. Additionally, Hockenheim did not host a round in 2025.
Entries Sprint Cup Bronze Cup entries did not compete at the Brands Hatch round and instead began their Sprint Cup season at Misano World Circuit, the second round of the Sprint Cup and the third round of the season.
