The 2025 24 Hours of Daytona was an endurance sports car race sanctioned by International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). The race was held at the Daytona International Speedway combined road course in Daytona Beach, Florida, from January 25 to January 26. This race was the 63rd running of the 24 Hours of Daytona and served as the opening round of the 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship season.
NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., who built Daytona International Speedway in 1959, conceived the 24 Hours of Daytona to attract European sports-car endurance racing to the United States and provide international exposure to the speedway. It is informally considered part of the Triple Crown of Endurance Racing, with the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) president John Doonan confirmed the race was a part of the 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship (IMSA SCC) in March 2024. It was the twelfth consecutive year it was a part of the IMSA SCC, and the 63rd 24 Hours of Daytona. The 24 Hours of Daytona was the first of eleven scheduled sports car endurance races by IMSA, and the first of five races of the Michelin Endurance Cup (MEC). The race took place at the 12-turn Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida from January 25 to 26.
The entry list for the 2025 24 Hours of Daytona included drivers that features in various other racing series, including IndyCar (e.g. Alex Palou, Colton Herta), Formula 1 (e.g. Kevin Magnussen, Romain Grosjean), Formula E (Pascal Wehrlein) and NASCAR (e.g Austin Cindric, Connor Zilisch).
