### Calendar changes

The calendar was expanded to fourteen rounds, including five flyaway events. This was originally planned for the 2024 season, but WRC Promoter GmbH retained the total of thirteen events in the hopes of attracting more Rally1 entries.
* Rally Estonia is set to return to the championship after missing the 2024 season. The event is due to replace Rally Latvia on the calendar.
* Rally Islas Canarias is due to be promoted from the European Rally Championship and become a World Championship event under a two-year deal. The event is planned to be run on tarmac roads.
* Rally Saudi Arabia is due to join the championship in 2025 as their organisers signed a ten-year contract with WRC Promoter GmbH. The rally is planned to be based in Jeddah, and be run as the season finale.
* Rally del Paraguay is set to become a WRC event from 2025 after signing a multi-year deal, making Paraguay the thirty-eighth nation to host a WRC championship round.
* The Croatia Rally will not be featured on the calendar for the first time since the event joined the championship in 2021. However, the event is set to return in 2026.
* Rally Poland will also be removed from the calendar after making a one-year return to the championship in 2024.
