The 2025 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine is a planned multi-event, Formula Regional open-wheel single seater motor racing championship scheduled to be held across Europe. The championship will feature a mix of professional and amateur drivers, competing in Formula Regional cars that conform to the FIA Formula Regional regulations for the championship. This will be the seventh season of the championship and the fifth after a merger with Formula Renault Eurocup which resulted in the change of the engine supplier to Alpine.
All teams compete using identical Tatuus FR-19 cars powered by 1.8l Renault engines on Pirelli tyres. Nine of the eleven teams that contested the 2024 season were also confirmed to be pre-selected for 2025, with Iron Dames not continuing their entry and MP Motorsport replaced by new team CL Motorsport.[1]

Ten planned circuits for the 2025 season were first announced in August of 2024.[20] The provisional calendar, with two events yet to be dated, was announced on 27 September 2024,[21] before being finalized on 2 October 2024. Mugello will not be part of the circuit lineup for the first time in series history, with the championship instead opting to return to Misano, where it last raced in 2020.[22] Three pre-season tests will be held at Barcelona, Misano and Paul Ricard.
