The StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 was the fourth Counter-Strike 2 Major Championship and twenty-third Counter-Strike Major overall. It was held in Budapest, Hungary, from November 24 to December 14, 2025. It was the second Major organized by StarLadder, after Berlin 2019. Each stage of the tournament was held in front of live audiences, with the first three stages being held at MTK Sportpark and the playoffs held at the MVM Dome. The Major was the second to feature 32 teams, with all teams being directly invited to the Major, and was the first Major to have a best-of-five grand final. It featured a prize pool of US$1,250,000.

Team Vitality were crowned champions after a 3–1 victory over FaZe Clan, their third title. Vitality's Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut was awarded his third Major MVP, the most of any player.
