The 2025 Snooker Shoot Out (officially the 2025 9Club Snooker Shoot Out) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 10 to 13 December 2025 at the Tower Circus in Blackpool, England, where the tournament was previously held from 2011 to 2015. The 16th consecutive edition of the tournament since it was revived in 2011, it was the 10th ranking event of the 2025‍–‍26 season, following the 2025 UK Championship and preceding the 2025 Scottish Open. It was broadcast by TNT Sports in the United Kingdom and Ireland, by Eurosport in mainland Europe, by local channels in China and elsewhere in Asia, and by WST Play in all other territories. The winner received £50,000 from a total prize fund of £171,000.

The tournament was played under a variation of the standard rules of snooker, with each match contested over a single frame, lasting a maximum of 10 minutes. Tom Ford was the defending champion, having defeated Liam Graham 31‍–‍28 in the 2024 final, but he lost 21–55 to Stuart Bingham in the fourth round. Former professional player Alfie Burden, competing in the tournament as an amateur substitute, won the first ranking title of his 30-year career by defeating Bingham 63–8 in the final. He won the title the day before his 49th birthday, making him the oldest maiden ranking event winner, surpassing Doug Mountjoy, who had won the 1988 UK Championship at age 46. Burden was the second player to win a ranking title while competing as an amateur, following Zhao Xintong at the 2025 World Snooker Championship.

The tournament produced four century breaks, the highest of which was a 141 by Wu Yize in the first round. Wu's century was the third-highest break in the history of the event.

The tournament was the seventeenth edition of the Snooker Shoot Out, first held as a non‑ranking event in 1990 before being revived in 2011 and since then having been held annually. It was promoted to a ranking event starting with the 2017 edition. Tom Ford was the defending champion, having defeated Liam Graham 31‍–‍28 in the 2024 final.

The tournament was played using a variation of the traditional snooker rules. The draw was randomised before each round. All matches were played over a single frame, each of which lasted up to 10 minutes. The event featured a variable shot clock; players were allowed 15 seconds per shot during the first five minutes and 10 seconds per shot during the final five minutes. The player with the most points after the time runs out or after all balls have been pocketed (or after a foul on the final black) won the match. All foul shots resulted in the opponent receiving a ball in hand. Unlike traditional snooker, a foul was called if a ball did not either hit a cushion or enter a pocket on every shot. Rather than a coin toss, a lag was used to determine which player broke off. In the event of a draw, the frame would be decided by a "blue ball shootout". With the cue ball placed inside the "D" and the blue ball on its spot, the players took alternate shots until one player had potted the blue more times than their opponent from an equal number of attempts.
