The 2025–26 PSA Squash Tour is the international squash tour organised circuit organized by the Professional Squash Association (PSA) for the 2026–26 squash season. It's the 11th PSA season since the merger of PSA and WSA associations in 2015.

The most important tournaments in the series are the PSA World Championship for Men's and Women's. The tour also features two circuits of regular events—PSA World Events (formerly PSA World Tour), which feature the highest prize money and the best fields; and PSA Challenger Events with prize money ranging $3,000–$15,000. In the middle of the year (usually in June), the PSA Squash Tour - World Events tour is concluded by the Men's and Women's PSA Squash Tour Finals in a to be determined venue, the season-ending championships for the top 8 rated players from PSA World Events level tournaments.

Starting in August 2024, PSA revamped its professional tour structure into two individual circuits; PSA World Events and PSA Challenger Events.^[1]

PSA World Events (formerly PSA World Tour) will comprise the most important tournaments in prize money for more experienced and higher-ranked players, including PSA World Championships and PSA Squash Tour Finals, labeled as follows:
