The 2025 ARCA Menards Series is the 73rd season of the ARCA Menards Series, a stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season began at Daytona International Speedway with the Ride the 'Dente 200 on February 15 and will end with the Owens Corning 200 at Toledo Speedway on October 4.

Andrés Pérez de Lara entered the season as the defending champion, but did not return to defend his title as he moved up to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series full-time in 2025, replacing Chase Purdy.
On September 25, 2024, ARCA signed a multi year contract with Fox Sports, which is a four-season deal that will last until 2028. The new contract puts races on Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, and puts the Ride the 'Dente 200 at Daytona on the Fox broadcast network, marking four different NASCAR-sanctioned series that will be on broadcast network television.
