The 2025 British Soap Awards will honour the best in British soap operas throughout 2024 and 2025. The ceremony is set to be held on 31 May 2025 at the Hackney Empire theatre in Hackney, London, and will be broadcast on ITV1, ITVX and STV the following week. After ITV cancelled the 2024 ceremony for undisclosed reasons, this marked the return of the awards after two years.[1] Jane McDonald will return as presenter,[2] having previously replaced former presenter Philip Schofield in 2023.[3]

The publicly voted categories were announced on 7 April 2025, with the vote opening that same day. This included a longlist for the Best Leading Performer accolade, which included four cast members from each respective soap. The British Soap Award for Best Comedy Performance was also turned to a publicly-voted accolade for the first time.[4] The shortlist, including panel nominations, were released on 1 May 2025.[5][6] Despite falling within the eligibility period, transmitting its final episode in November 2024, the ceremony marks the first since 2002 that BBC soap opera Doctors was not considered for the awards.[7][8]
