The production of fully-heavy tetraquark states in proton–proton (
pp
) and proton–nucleus (
pA
) collisions at the center-of-mass energies of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and at the Future Circular Collider (FCC) is investigated considering that these states are produced through the double parton scattering mechanism. We estimate the cross sections for the

states and present predictions for
pp
,
pCa
and
pPb
collisions considering the rapidity ranges covered by central and forward detectors. We demonstrate that the cross sections for
pA
collisions are enhanced in comparison to the
pp
predictions scaled by the atomic number. Moreover, our results indicate that a search of these exotic states is, in principle, feasible in the future runs of the LHC and FCC.
