The race will take place immediately after the men's tour, returning to its late-July spot in the calendar.{{Cite web |last=Weislo |first=Laura |date=2024-10-04 |title=UCI rolls out 2025 road calendar with Copenhagen Sprint added to men's and women's WorldTour |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-rolls-out-2025-road-calendar-with-copenhagen-sprint-added-to-mens-and-womens-worldtour/ |access-date=2024-10-09 |website=cyclingnews.com |language=en}} In June 2024, it was announced that the Tour de France Femmes would have a Grand Départ in Brittany in northwestern France — with three stages in the region.{{Cite web |last=Moultrie |first=James |date=2024-06-10 |title=2025 Tour de France Femmes to be longest yet with nine stages |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/2025-tour-de-france-femmes-to-be-longest-yet-with-nine-stages/ |access-date=2024-06-10 |website=cyclingnews.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Becket |first=Adam |date=2024-06-10 |title=Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift to extend to nine stages in 2025 |url=https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/tour-de-france-femmes-to-extend-to-nine-stages-in-2025 |access-date=2024-06-10 |website=cyclingweekly.com |language=en}} Furthermore, the length of the race would be extended to nine days, with nine stages.

Prior to the route announcement, it was rumoured that the race would again visit the Alps.{{Cite web |last=Wilson |first=Ewan |date=2024-10-03 |title=Grand Tour 2025 route rumours: What we know so far |url=https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/grand-tour-2025-route-rumours |access-date=2024-10-09 |website=Cyclist |language=en |quote=Although route details rightfully remain very secret, the general direction of the race looks to be southeasterly towards the Alps ... there is some reason to believe that the Col du Galibier could be on the 2025 parcours.}}{{Cite web |last=Trivero |first=Julien |date=28 September 2024 |title=Cyclisme - Tour de France femmes.

The first two stages will take place in Brittany, before heading east across France towards the Alps via the Massif Central. The final two stages will take place in the Alps, with the queen stage on stage 8 culminating with a summit finish at the Col de la Madeleine at an elevation of {{convert|2000|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The Col de la Madeleine has previously been tackled by the women's professional peloton, including twice during the 2002 Grande Boucle Féminine Internationale.{{Cite web |last=Jones |first=Jeff |date=August 2002 |title=Grande Boucle Féminine Internationale - 2.9.1 France, August 4-18, 2002 |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2002/aug02/tourwomen02/?id=default |access-date=2024-10-31 |website=Cycling News |quote=Then there is the relatively hard Stage 6 from Lyon to Villard de Lans, with an uphill finish, followed by the much tougher 134 km leg from Aix les Bains to Courchevel, containing the Col de la Madeleine with another uphill finish in Courchevel. Stage 8 from Courchevel to Vaujany is shorter, at 113.6 km, but takes the riders back over the Madeleine, then up the very tough Col du Glandon, before finishing at the ski station of Vaujany.}} The final stage will feature Col de Joux Plane, with a finish at the ski resort of Châtel – Les Porte des Soleil.

The route does not feature a time trial, unlike the previous two editions.{{Cite web |last=Paine |first=India |date=29 October 2024 |title=Tour de France Femmes 2025 route: A diagonal route to a grand finale in the Alps |url=https://www.rouleur.cc/blogs/the-rouleur-journal/tour-de-france-femmes-route |access-date=2024-10-29 |website=Rouleur |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Jary |first=Rachel |date=30 October 2024 |title=Opinion: The 2025 Tour de France Femmes will be the hardest yet |url=https://www.rouleur.cc/blogs/the-rouleur-journal/opinion-the-2025-tour-de-france-femmes-will-be-the-hardest-yet |access-date=2024-10-31 |website=Rouleur |language=en}} Rousse noted that the course was harder and longer, stating that "from the Thursday to the Sunday it's either medium- or high-mountain stages".{{Cite web |last=Tyson |first=Jackie |date=2024-10-29 |title=Cavendish, Girmay, Cordon-Ragot add glitz for Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes 2024 route presentation |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cavendish-girmay-cordon-ragot-add-glitz-for-tour-de-france-tour-de-france-femmes-2024-route-presentation/ |access-date=2024-10-29 |website=Cycling News |language=en |quote="What you see is that the Tour as a whole is harder than previous years - we've made a step up. So we've designed the route with the idea of wanting to put on something more difficult. From the Thursday to the Sunday it's either medium- or high-mountain stages," Rousse said.}}

Reacting to the route, Cyclist considered that it has a "punchy start and a very tough final few stages",{{Cite web |last=Davidson |first=Robyn |date=2024-10-29 |title=Climb-heavy Tour de France Femmes 2025 route revealed |url=https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/tour-de-france-femmes |access-date=2024-10-29 |website=Cyclist |language=en}} with Rouleur stating that "it's likely that these parcours could provide some extremely fiery racing" and that the lack of a time trial was the "only glaring omission from the route". L'Équipe noted that the "demanding course" and longer length "reinforces the idea that the event has grown".{{Cite web |last=Le Gars |first=Philippe |date=29 October 2024 |title=Plus long, plus montagneux, plus de stars : en 2025, le Tour de France femmes continue de grandir |trans-title=Longer, more mountainous, more stars: in 2025, the women's Tour de France continues to grow |url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Article/Plus-long-plus-montagneux-plus-de-stars-en-2025-le-tour-de-france-femmes-continue-de-grandir/1517135 |access-date=2024-10-31 |website=L'Équipe |language=fr}} Defending champion Kasia Niewiadoma stated that she liked the route, but noted disappointment regarding the lack of a time-trial.{{Cite web |last=Frattini |first=Kirsten |date=2024-10-30 |title=Kasia Niewiadoma approves of 'balanced' route despite no time trialling at Tour de France Femmes 2025 |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kasia-niewiadoma-approves-of-balanced-route-despite-no-time-trialling-at-tour-de-france-femmes-2025/ |access-date=2024-10-31 |website=Cycling News |language=en}}

Both Marion Rousse and Rouleur noted that the changes in the women's peloton for 2025 could lead to competitive racing,{{Cite web |last=Azé |first=Maria |date=18 August 2024 |title=Marion Rousse fait le bilan du Tour de France femmes et annonce déjà une prochaine édition incroyable |url=https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/cyclisme/marion-rousse-fait-le-bilan-du-tour-de-france-femmes-et-annonce-deja-une-prochaine-edition-incroyable_AV-202408180263.html |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=RMC Sport |language=fr}} with the return of four-time Giro d'Italia Women winner Anna van der Breggen and French multi-discipline world champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot to the peloton, as well as the moves of Demi Vollering to {{UCI team code|FSF|2024}} and Elisa Longo Borghini to UAE Team ADQ.
