In 2025, Slovenia will host the European Capital of Culture (in Slovenian: Evropska prestolnica kulture (EPK)) for the second time, after Maribor in 2012 (cf. Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012).

In December 2020 the European Capitals of Culture Expert panel announced that the city of Nova Gorica has been recommended for the European Capital of Culture 2025 title in Slovenia.

In the year 2025, Chemnitz will be a European Capital of Culture in Germany.
