Rider changes 2022 BSB champion Bradley Ray has returned to the series to ride for Raceways Yamaha as their solo driver. This return comes after two years on the international stage in the Superbike World Championship. Conversely, Ryan Vickers has left BSB after six seasons to join Motocorsa Racing for the 2025 Superbike World Championship. After two seasons with BMW, Josh Brookes has switched to Honda, riding for DAO Racing. After missing most of his 2024 season return, Rory Skinner has also switched from BMW to ride for Cheshire Mouldings Ducati. Scott Redding, the 2019 British Superbike Champion, made a comeback to the championship. Redding joined Hager PBM Ducati, from Round 4 of the 2025 season, marking his departure from the 2025 Superbike World Championship. On the 5th of August, days after Glenn Irwin announced his comeback after an injury at Snetterton, Irwin announced that Hager PBM Ducati and himself have mutually parted ways, leaving Redding as their sole rider. OMG Racing announced on the same day the Irwin had joined them, partnering defending champion Kyle Ryde. Danny Webb replaced Swan Racing rider Lewis Rollo, who is injured, for Round 6 at Thruxton. After Lee Jackson broke his foot at Brands Hatch during Round 5, Italian rider Gabriele Giannini made his debut with DAO Racing Honda for Round 6 at Thruxton.
