The 2025 Q School is a series of four snooker tournaments to be held at the start of the 2025–26 snooker season. An event for amateur players, it serves as a qualification event for a place on the professional World Snooker Tour for the following two seasons. The events will take 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.
