Renger van der Zande finished at the top of the leaderboard in an interrupted FP3 session at Sebring, which concluded with the third red flag at the end of the session. The #01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R, driven by Chip Ganassi, was the fastest in the only night session, providing teams with valuable data for the final hours of the race. The LMP2 cars caused some interruptions, but the #01 Cadillac GTP was the fastest for the second time after van der Zande led the first free practice session. The debut of the Lamborghini SC63 #63 had a moment off track at turn 3, but continued without major issues. The Acura #40 WTRAndretti did not complete any laps due to an engine change. Van der Zande set the fastest lap time of 1:49.179, with Augusto Farfus in the BMW M Hybrid V8 #24 in second place with a time of 1:49.437.

The session had a brief red flag when the Ligier JS P217 LMP2 #33 from Sean Creech Motorsport stopped on track at turn 8. Another red flag was triggered when the Oreca 07 #52 PR1 Mathiasen by Inter Europol made contact with the McLaren 720S GT3 EVO #70 from Inception Racing at turn 7, causing the McLaren to spin. The third and final red flag occurred minutes before the scheduled end of the session, when the Oreca 07 #04 Crowdstrike Racing by APR, driven by Colin Braun, stopped at Sunset Bend, the final corner. The #04 is currently in second place in the LMP2 standings and has the opportunity to reduce the 20-point gap to the Oreca #18 from Era Motorsport this weekend.
