NASCAR confirm 2025 Cup Series calendar with MAJOR changes made

NASCAR have revealed the full schedule for the 2025 Cup Series with major changes made.

Whilst the 2024 Cup Series is very much alive and kicking as we head to Darlington this weekend, next season's dates have now been set, with the sport set to head outside of the United States for a points-scoring race for the first time since 1958.

In another historic move, the 2025 Cup Series season is set to get underway at Bowman Gray Stadium on February 2nd in a non-points scoring exhibition that sees the series return to the venue for the first time since 1971.

A fortnight later, the regular season gets underway for good with the 67th annual Daytona 500 on February 16th.

“It’s no secret we’ve been bullish about growing NASCAR beyond our borders, and the 2025 schedule is an important and thrilling first milestone in that journey,” NASCAR executive vice president Ben Kennedy explained.

“In addition to racing in Mexico, we’ve been able to bring back more historic and fan-favorite venues for the first time in decades across our national series. Not only will this combination of venues maintain the high levels of excitement and anticipation for NASCAR racing, but it also delivers one of the most diverse and challenging schedules anywhere in motorsports.”
