Schedule

On 16 December 2024, the official calendar for the 2025 season was announced, featuring 14 races across 13 weekends, including a doubleheader weekend with the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Compared to 2024, the final race would be held in Puebla instead of Mexico City.[3][4]

Chihuahua was dropped from the schedule for undisclosed reasons, with Puebla gaining a third date as a replacement.[5]

An international race had been confirmed for Panama for 13 September,[6] but was later dropped for logistical reasons.

San Luis Potosí also had three dates on the 2025 calendar; its August date being a replacement for a previously scheduled race on Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez's oval layout.
