2025 FOCAL finals
- See also: Co:MK Open 2025
The 2025 FOCAL finals was a co-event, organised and hosted by FOCAL chairman George Armstrong with Adam Beach, on 29 November as the closing event of the 2025 FOCAL season. It ran concurrently with the Milton Keynes Open — a tournament for those attendees who didn't qualify as one of the top eight finalists — to form Countdown in Milton Keynes 2025. It was won by Dylan Taylor, who beat Tom Cappleman 62 – 30 in the championship grand final.
For the fourth consecutive year, the event returned to the Novotel in Milton Keynes, where the finalists underwent a round-robin of seven 9-round games in the "Bristol" format.
