A new team joined the grid in Kichcha's Kings Bengaluru, led by actor Kiccha Sudeepa.^[6] In turn, the Bangalore Speedsters left the championship after entering every season since 2022.^[7] The Rarh Bengal Tigers meanwhile changed their name to Kolkata Royal Tigers, thereby returning to the guise under which the team was officially launched in 2024.^[8]

The reigning champions, Goa Aces JA Racing, saw Gabriela Jílková join the Hyderabad Blackbirds, while Shahan Ali Mohsin moved over to the Speed Demons Delhi and Sohil Shah was drafted by the Kolkata Royal Tigers. To replace them, the team took on Akash Gowda, who leaves the Delhi-branded team after three seasons, as well as Fabienne Wohlwend, who previously competed for the departing Rarh Bengal Tigers, and Indian F4 graduate Chetan Surineni.

The renamed Kolkata Royal Tigers entered the 2025 season with an all-new lineup after Nikhil Bohra left the championship, Alister Yoong moved to the Speed Demons Delhi, Ruhaan Alva joined the new Kichcha's Kings Bengaluru outfit and Fabienne Wohlwend was signed by the Goa Aces. The team drafted in reining champion Sohil Shah, Chennai Turbo Riders driver Sandeep Kumar, Hyderabad's 2024 substitute driver Tom Canning and debutant Alexandra Hervé, who last competed in the TTE Formula Renault series in 2022.

The Chennai Turbo Riders also have four new drivers after neither Mira Erda nor Emily Duggan returned to the series, Sandeep Kumar moved to the Kolkata Royal Tigers and both Jon Lancaster and Mohamed Ryan joined the Hyderabad Blackbirds. Ex-Hyderabad driver Laura Camps Torras will be the team's only entrant with previous championship experience, as it took on three debutants: reigning Indian Formula 4 champion Aqil Alibhai, radical driver Shibin Yousaf and Formula LGB competitor Tijil Rao.

Two of the departing Bangalore Speedsters' drivers found new berths: Caitlin Wood joined the Speed Demons Delhi and Kyle Kumaran moved to Kichcha's Kings Bengaluru. Both Rishon Rajeev and Julius Dinesen did not return to the championship.

The Speed Demons Delhi drafted three returning drivers to its team after both Álvaro Parente and Angélique Detavernier left the series and Akash Gowda joined the Goa Aces. Alister Yoong moved over from the Kolkata Royal Tigers, Shahan Ali Mohsin left the Goa Aces to join Delhi and Caitlin Wood joined from the departing Bangalore Speedsters.

The Hyderabad Blackbirds also renewed their whole roster as series mainstays Anindith Reddy and Akhil Rabindra all left after entering every season since 2022, Neel Jani joined Bengaluru and Laura Camps Torras moved to the Chennai Turbo Riders. The team took on a debutant in Formula Regional driver Akshay Bohra, as well as three returnees: Jon Lancaster and Mohamed Ryan moved over from the Chennai Turbo Riders, while Gabriela Jílková left the Goa Aces to join the team.

Debuting team Kichcha's Kings Bengaluru also drafted in three returning drivers and a debutant: Neel Jani, Ruhaan Alva and Kyle Kumaran joined the team after previously competing for the Hyderabad Blackbirds, the Kolkata Royal Tigers and the Bangalore Speedsters, respectively, while sportscar driver Jem Hepworth completed the team's lineup.

The provisional calendar was announced in July of 2025, with the venues of the final two rounds yet to be confirmed.^[2] All events will be held in India and will be run in tandem with the F4 Indian Championship. In February 2025, the series confirmed it would host a street race in the state of Goa as part of the 2025 season.^[9][10]
