Background

The women's 60 metres was contested 35 times before 2025, at every previous edition of the European Athletics Indoor Championships (1970–2023), with the exception of 1972 and 1981, when the 50 metres was held instead. ^[2] The 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships will be held in Omnisport Apeldoorn in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. ^[3] The removable indoor athletics track was retopped for these championships in September 2024. ^[3]

Irina Privalova of Russia is the world and European record holder with a time of 6.92 s, set in both 1993 and 1995. ^[4] The championship record of 7.00 s was set by Nelli Cooman of the Netherlands in 1986 and equalled by Mujinga Kambundji of Switzerland in 2023.
