The fast-approaching 2025 Season is set to be SailGP's most expansive yet, with new teams and events taking place across five continents.

Unfolding over a 12-month period, the 2025 Season will start and finish in the United Arab Emirates, with the season opener taking place in Dubai. The Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix will mark the league's third visit to the iconic Emirati city, taking place on November 23/24.

From there, the league will head to the Southern Hemisphere for back-to-back events. First, the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix, SailGP's long-awaited Auckland debut, will take place on January 18-19, 2025. Then, the league heads to Sydney for the fan-favourite Australia Sail Grand Prix unfolding on Sydney Harbor on February 8/9.

After Sydney, it'll be time for a United States doubleheader across consecutive weekends, with SailGP arriving in Los Angeles for a weekend of high-octane entertainment and Hollywood glamour on March 15/16. Just one week later, the league returns to San Francisco Bay - one of the most dynamic racecourses on the calendar - for the San Francisco Sail Grand Prix on March 22/23.

SailGP will head to South America for the first time next season, racing on the iconic waters of Rio de Janeiro's Guanabara Bay. The Enel Rio Sail Grand Prix will take place on May 3/4 and see the 12-strong F50 fleet race in front of the iconic Rio skyline and Sugarloaf Mountain.
