Its general objective is to analyze and understand the perceptions and conceptions of physical education teachers about the relationship between leisure and education and to identify the potentialities and possibilities of education for and through leisure in physical education classes. This is a qualitative analysis and exploratory research, using questionnaires via google forms as a data collection instrument. Data collection only took place virtually, with self-administered questionnaires of objective and subjective questions, the data analysis technique employed was content analysis. The research inclusion criteria were: being a physical education teacher; the teaching network of public basic education in Bahia; teach at levels of elementary school I, II and high school. The results point out that teachers observe that the training of physical education teachers still does not consistently address the theme of leisure, they consider that physical education classes may become a space for debate on leisure, contributing to the expansion of the range of students' repertoire on leisure possibilities and a critical view of the phenomenon and that the lack of physical education teacher training on leisure and the rigidity of formatted curricula are barriers to leisure education in schools.
