For the third year in a row, Bejlek qualified for the Australian Open,[35] making her the youngest player at 18 years-old to qualify for the women’s main draw,[36] but lost in the first round, this time to Caroline Dolehide.[37]

For a second time, ranked No. 193, Bejlek also reached the main draw at the French Open, after qualifying with a straight-sets win over top seed Yulia Starodubtseva.[38] She recorded her first major match win, upsetting 26th seed Marta Kostyuk,[39] before losing to Jaqueline Cristian in the second round.[40] Bejlek claimed her second WTA 125 title at the Makarska Open in Croatia, defeating Victoria Jiménez Kasintseva in the final.[41][42] At the Prague Open, she reached her first WTA Tour quarterfinal with wins over Moyuka Uchijima[43] and eighth seed Alycia Parks,[44] before her run was ended by fourth seed Wang Xinyu.[45]

Bejlek lifted her third WTA 125 title in October at the inaugural edition of the Internazionali di Calabria in Rende, Italy, as she defeated Lola Radivojevic in the final.[46] Subsequently, she made her debut in the top 100 on 13 October 2025, as she reached the quarterfinals (where she withdrew) at the WTA 125 Mallorca Championships, becoming the sixth teenager in the top 100.[47][48] Bejlek won her fourth WTA 125 title of the year at Querétaro Open, defeating Katrina Scott in the final.[49] This result moved her to No. 84 in the WTA rankings on 27 October 2025.[50] Bejlek finished the season ranked No. 76 on 17 November 2025.

Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
