The 2025 Canoe Slalom World Cup was the highest level season-long series of competitions across six canoe slalom disciplines organized by the International Canoe Federation (ICF). It was the 38th edition and featured five stops (or races) in five different venues.
Canoeists competed for the title of the overall world cup champion in each of the eight disciplines (4 for men and 4 for women), which were determined by the total number of points obtained from the five races.
Kayak cross individual was introduced as a new event for this season. It is a kayak cross time trial that is also used as a qualification run for the kayak cross event.
A new progression system was introduced, unified through all 4 classic slalom categories. Instead of 2 qualification heats, followed by a semifinal and a final, there would only be one single qualification heat with the top 12 athletes advancing straight to the final.

The winner of each race was awarded 60 points (with double points awarded for the World Cup Final). Points for lower places differed for kayak cross.
