The 2025 Q School was a series of four snooker tournaments held at the start of the 2025–26 snooker season. An event for amateur players, it served as a qualification event for a place on the professional World Snooker Tour for the following two seasons. The events took place in May and June 2025 at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester, England and also at the BSAT Academy in Bangkok, Thailand with a total 12 players qualifying via the four tournaments. The two events held in England were organised by the World Snooker Tour, whilst those in Thailand were organised by the Billiard Sports Association of Thailand.
The 2025 Q School consisted of four events, two held in the UK and two "Asia-Oceania" events held in Thailand.[1] The two UK events had 171 entries competing for eight places on the main tour, while the two Asia-Oceania events had 86 players competing for a further four places. The Asia-Oceania events were only open to citizens of those continents. Any player was allowed to enter the UK events, but players could not enter both the Asia-Oceania and UK events.[1] All matches were the best of seven frames.
