2025 Snooker Shoot Out

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.
