The 2025 World Surf League was the 48th season of all iterations of the tour circuit for professional surfers. Billabong Pipe Masters was the first round of the tour.

For the first time, the season ended at Cloudbreak, in Tavarua Island, Fiji, where the WSL Finals determined that season World Champions. It was the first time the WSL Finals has moved locations since its debut in 2021.

John John Florence and Caitlin Simmers were the defending champions. Florence announced on January of that year his withdrawal from the starting season, allowing rookie Alan Cleland Jr. to take his spot on the CT. Eight time World Title holder Stephanie Gilmore also not competed in the 2025 WSL CT. Brazil's Yago Dora on men's side and Australia's Molly Picklum on women's were crowned world champions for the first time.

The 2025 CT included eleven regular-season events in nine countries. The Mid-season cut came into action following stop number seven in Margaret River, Australia. Surfers who made the cut competed in United States, Brazil and South Africa. The final event of the regular season was at Teahupo'o in Tahiti, where the 2024 Olympic Final took place. The surfers competed for a place in the WSL Finals.
