The series spanned from 9 May at Skövde Airport through to 26 September at Ring Knutstorp, encompassing a total of fifteen races held over seven different circuits.

Championship standings

Points allocation

Points were distributed to the top ten finishers, with the addition of one point each for securing pole position and recording the fastest lap, implemented from this season onward.

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	Pole	FL
Points	25	18	15	12	10	8	6	4	2	1	1	1

In addition to the primary championship, two concurrent contests took place: the Formula Renault 1.6 Junior Svenskt Mästerskap (JSM), targeting drivers under 26 holding Swedish licenses, and the Formula Renault 1.6 Northern European Zone (NEZ) championship during selected events. Both competitions followed an identical points distribution system but did not award points for pole position or fastest lap achievements.
