The initial race calendar for the 2025 season was announced in June 2024, with twenty-nine races initially scheduled.

[4] [5] Organisers of the Tour de France Femmes announced that the race would be extended to nine days in length, becoming the longest event on the calendar. [6]
Following the announcement, the RideLondon Classique was cancelled by organisers, as it was not possible to run the race on the June date offered by the UCI.

[9] In October 2024, the final calendar was announced with the addition of two new events [1] – the previously rumoured women's edition of Milan–San Remo (last held in 2005), [10] and a new one-day race in Denmark, the Copenhagen Sprint.

In January 2025, it was announced that the Tour of Scandinavia would not be revived due to lack of interest from sponsors and host broadcasters, [12] reducing the calendar to twenty-seven races.
