The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race was a NASCAR Cup Series race held on November 2, 2025, at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Contested over 319 laps, extended from 312 laps due to an overtime finish, on the one-mile (1.6 km) oval, it was the 36th and final race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Ryan Blaney won the race. Brad Keselowski finished 2nd, and Kyle Larson finished 3rd to claim his second Cup Series championship. Joey Logano and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five, and Denny Hamlin, having led 208 laps, finished second in the championship standings, Josh Berry, Michael McDowell, Ryan Preece, and Chase Elliott rounded out the top ten.
This was the final championship race held at Phoenix as the event will move to Homestead–Miami Speedway. Phoenix will host the championship race, but will be on a "rotating" schedule. It was also the final championship race as part of the playoff system used since 2014, as it would be scrapped in favor of a return to the "Chase" format from 2026.
