To provide a method whereby it is possible to produce an alkali-free glass having little bubbles therein and excellent in homogeneity and flatness. A method for producing an alkali-free glass, which comprises melting a glass raw material containing a silicon source, followed by forming, wherein as the silicon source, a silica sand is used which has a median particle diameter D50 of from 20 μm to 80 μm and which contains particles having a particle diameter of at most 2 μm at a ratio of at most 0.3 vol % and particles having a particle diameter of at least 100 μm at a ratio of at most 2.5 vol %.
