### Team changes

After 15 years of competing in FIA F3 and its predecessor GP3, Jenzer Motorsport departed the championship to focus on its Formula 4 efforts. DAMS Lucas Oil took over their spot as the series' tenth team, returning to the third tier of FIA-sanctioned formula racing for the first time since the 2017 GP3 Series.
Hitech Grand Prix and Toyota Gazoo Racing's TGR-DC junior programme formed a new collaboration in 2025, with the team entering under the Hitech TGR guise.
AIX Racing now compete under an Emirati racing licence for the 2025 season following the use of a German racing licence in 2024. This marks the first time in the championship's history an Emirati team competes on the grid.

### Driver changes

Prema Racing have an all new-lineup as all three of their drivers graduated to Formula 2, with 2024 runner-up Gabriele Minì staying with Prema, Red Bull junior Arvid Lindblad moving to Campos Racing, and Ferrari junior Dino Beganovic joining Hitech TGR. Two McLaren juniors in Ugo Ugochukwu and Brando Badoer graduated from the Formula Regional European Championship, while Prema's final seat was taken by Noel León, who departs Van Amersfoort Racing after coming tenth with the team in 2024.
Trident also hired three new drivers as reigning champion Leonardo Fornaroli and Sami Meguetounif moved up to Formula 2, with Fornaroli joining Invicta Racing and Meguetounif staying with Trident, and Santiago Ramos moving to Van Amersfoort Racing. The team recruited Charlie Wurz, who came 22nd with Jenzer Motorsport in his debut FIA Formula 3 season. Trident's lineup is completed by two drivers stepping up from FRECA in Rafael Câmara, the reigning series champion who drove for Prema, and rookie champion Noah Strømsted, who came sixth driving for RPM and made a one-off FIA F3 appearance in 2024 with Campos Racing.
ART Grand Prix saw Nikola Tsolov and Christian Mansell leave the team, with the former moving to Campos Racing, and the latter initially set to graduate to Formula 2 with Rodin Motorsport before announcing his temporary retirement from racing due to personal reasons. As a replacement, the team signed the drivers that came second and third in FRECA in 2024: James Wharton, who drove for Prema and made his FIA F3 debut when he substituted for Martinius Stenshorne at Hitech, and Ferrari junior Tuukka Taponen, who drove for R-ace GP and also made his FIA F3 debut as he replaced Tsolov at ART Grand Prix at the penultimate round of 2024.
Campos Racing signed two drivers switching from other teams to replace Oliver Goethe and Sebastián Montoya as both graduated to Formula 2 with MP Motorsport and Prema Racing, respectively. Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak, who left AIX Racing after coming 24th with the team in his debut season, returns to the team he drove for in Eurocup-3 in 2023, while Nikola Tsolov ended his second FIA F3 season with ART Grand Prix in eleventh and returns to the team with whom he won the 2022 Spanish F4 title.
Hitech TGR saw both Luke Browning and Cian Shields step up to Formula 2, with Browning staying with Hitech and Shields joining AIX Racing. The team promoted one driver from their GB3 outfit, with Gerrard Xie graduating to FIA F3 after coming seventh with the team in 2024, and signed Joshua Dufek, who departed AIX Racing after finishing his debut season in 28th.
MP Motorsport also have two new drivers, as Alex Dunne stepped up to Formula 2 with Rodin Motorsport and Kacper Sztuka moved to Eurocup-3 to join Campos Racing's satellite Griffin Core outfit. To replace them, the team promoted Bruno del Pino from their Eurocup-3 outfit, where he was the rookie champion in 2023, and signed Williams Academy driver Alessandro Giusti, who stepped up from FRECA after coming fourth in 2024 with ART Grand Prix.
All three of Van Amersfoort Racing's drivers left the team, with Noel León joining Prema and both Tommy Smith and Sophia Flörsch departing the series after multiple seasons to move to Indy NXT with HMD Motorsports. The team took on one experienced driver in Santiago Ramos, who embarks on his second FIA F3 season after finishing 16th with Trident in 2024. Two FRECA graduates joined him: Ivan Domingues, who finished tenth with Van Amersfoort Racing in that series in 2024, and 2023 Spanish F4 Champion Théophile Naël, who joins the team after coming ninth in FRECA with Saintéloc Racing.
Rodin Motorsport also signed two new drivers as Piotr Wiśnicki and Joseph Loake left the team. The team promoted reigning GB3 Champion Louis Sharp from its outfit in that championship and signed 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Champion Roman Bilinski, who has been competing with Trident in FRECA for the past three years.
AIX Racing have two new drivers in its line up as Inthraphuvasak and Dufek moved to Campos Racing and Hitech TGR, respectively. The team signed 2024 Eurocup-3 runner-up Javier Sagrera to fill one of the seats. International GT Open driver Nicola Marinangeli also joined the team, returning to single-seater racing for the first time since the 2022 Euroformula Open Championship to make his FIA F3 debut.
New team DAMS Lucas Oil signed Matías Zagazeta, who embarked on his second season in the championship after coming 25th with Jenzer Motorsport in 2024. Alpine Academy driver Nicola Lacorte also joined the team, graduating from FRECA after coming 21st with Trident in 2024. DAMS' lineup was completed by Eurocup-3 champion Christian Ho.
Two of the three drivers that competed for the departing Jenzer Motorsport team joined other FIA F3 teams, with Wurz joining Trident and Zagazeta signing with DAMS. Max Esterson left the series to join Trident in Formula 2.

### Calendar changes

The Albert Park Circuit is the season opener for the first time in FIA Formula 3 history, a consequence of Formula One's Australian Grand Prix holding the opening round of the championship for the first time since 2019.

## Regulation changes
### Technical regulations

The season saw the introduction of a brand new chassis and engine package. The Dallara F3 2019 chassis, which had been used by FIA Formula 3 since 2019, was replaced by the Dallara F3 2025.

## Season report

A three-day pre-season test was held from 19–21 February at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

### Round 1: Australia

At the opening round at the Albert Park Circuit, FIA Formula 3 debutant Rafael Câmara set the fastest qualifying time to take feature race pole position. Santiago Ramos qualified twelfth and therefore started from first place in the reverse-grid sprint race. He maintained his lead off the start line and after the safety car period when Câmara, James Wharton and Laurens van Hoepen collided. The race then ended under safety car conditions due to a late crash between Javier Sagrera and Bruno del Pino, allowing Ramos to hold the position and claim his first victory in the category. The podium was completed by Martinius Stenshorne in second and Roman Bilinski in third on his FIA Formula 3 debut.
Due to wet conditions, the feature race began with a rolling start after several formation laps behind the safety car. An incident on the first lap that left Nikola Tsolov and Callum Voisin stuck on the slippery grass necessitated the redeployment of the safety car. After racing resumed, the top seven qualifiers held their positions during the green flag running. A crash for Christian Ho on lap 13 caused another safety car period before the race was red-flagged and not resumed on lap 18 of 20. Pole-sitter Câmara thus took his first race win in the series, followed by his Trident teammate Noah Strømsted in second and Théophile Naël in third. At the end of the first round, Câmara led the Drivers' Championship by nine points over Naël.

### Scoring system

Points are awarded to the top ten classified finishers in both races. The pole-sitter in the feature race also receives two points, and one point is given to the driver who set the fastest lap in both the feature and sprint races, provided that driver finished inside the top ten. If the driver who set the fastest lap is classified outside the top ten, the point is given to the driver who set the fastest lap of those inside the top ten. No extra points are awarded to the pole-sitter in the sprint race as the grid for it is set by reversing the top twelve qualifiers.

#### Sprint race points

Points are awarded to the top ten classified finishers. A bonus point is awarded to the driver who set the fastest lap and finished in the top ten.
