Formerly named Global 7000, its entry into service was initially scheduled for 2016.
Former Formula One driver and long time Bombardier brand ambassador Niki Lauda announced his order ahead of the EBACE 2015 convention.

The first test aircraft underwent taxi testing in October 2016.
Dedicated to testing basic system functionality and assessing the handling and flying qualities of the aircraft, its maiden flight was performed on November 4, 2016, climbing to 20,000 feet (6,096 m) and reaching 240 knots during 2 h 27 min.

The production wing was in final design in February 2017.
FTV2 flew on March 6, 2017, "The Powerhouse" is designed to test aircraft systems, including propulsion, electrical and mechanical systems.
FTV1 is used to open the performance envelope and reached Mach 0.995 on March 29, 2017.
FTV3 flew on May 10, 2017, "The Navigator" will be used to test the avionics and electrical system performance.

By the end of May 2017, the three prototypes flew a combined 250 hours.

The fourth prototype, used for cabin interior validation, is called "The Architect" and the fifth and final, for the entry-into-service, is called "The Masterpiece".
The fifth has a slightly lighter production wing supplied by the Triumph Group, after a dispute over the wing weight was resolved.

By mid-July 2017, the three flight-test aircraft had accumulated 500 hours.
On 15 August 2017, after "high vibration and high inter-turbine temperature readings", the second prototype's right GE Passport had an in-flight flameout at FL410 and the aircraft went back to Wichita Airport 156 nmi (290 km) away for a single engine landing.

By October 2017, the four flight-test aircraft had flown 900 hours.

In April 2018, the flight test campaign surpassed 1,800 hours and confirmed a range increase from 7,400 to 7,700 nmi (13,700 to 14,300 km), greater than the competing Gulfstream G650ER's 7,500 nmi (13,900 km), but still overshadowed by the smaller Global 8000's range of 7,900 nmi (14,600 km), 200 nmi (370 km) more than the Global 7500.
As the original Global Express is developed into the Global 5500 and 6500, it is renamed Global 7500 to reflect this range increase.

By the end of May 2018, the five flight-test aircraft had amassed about 2,000 hours towards the type's planned entry-into-service at year-end.
By June 2018, 2,300 flight test hours had been completed by the test fleet towards certification.
The first production aircraft entered the completion centre in May 2018.

Flight testing was completed by August 2018 after over 2,400 hours; type certification and introduction into service are expected by year-end, with 15-20 customer deliveries in 2019, as 20 aircraft were in final assembly.
By September 2018, the test aircraft had flew over 2,700 hours as FTV1 was retired from testing and repainted to be used as a demonstrator.

Bombardier was expecting certification in September 2018.

Transport Canada awarded its type certification on September 28, 2018.
FAA type certification followed on November 7, 2018.

The first should be delivered in December, and Bombardier expects to deliver 15 to 20 in 2019, then 35-40 in 2020, with the program sold out through 2021.

After being delivered in early December, the Global 7500 entered service on 20 December with 100 secured orders.

In February 2019, Bombardier acquired the Global 7500 wing manufacturing program and facilities from Triumph Group.
