The 2025 Speedway Grand Prix season will be the 31st season of the Speedway Grand Prix era, and will decide the 80th FIM Speedway World Championship. It will be the fourth series promoted by Discovery Sports Events.
For the first time Great Britain will host two rounds of the championship, with the National Speedway Stadium in Manchester joining the flagship Principality Stadium in Cardiff on the calendar.[1] [2] There will be eight other rounds, with Poland's allocation reduced from four to three.[3]
Bartosz Zmarzlik is the defending champion having won the title in 2024. He will be aiming to equal Tony Rickardsson and Ivan Mauger's record of six world championships.[4] [5]
The choice of the wildcard riders caused significant controversy due to the fact that Artem Laguta and Emil Sayfutdinov were once again omitted,[6] as was 2022 world runner-up Leon Madsen. The 2025 event would be the fourth consecutive year that Zmarzlik would be missing his strongest rivals.[7]
For the 2025 season there will be 15 permanent riders, who will be joined at each Grand Prix by one wild card and two track reserves. The top six riders from the 2024 championship qualify automatically. These riders will be joined by the four riders who qualified via the Grand Prix Challenge[8] and the 2024 Speedway European Championship winner. The final four riders were nominated by the SGP Commission.[9]
