The invention relates to a bidirectional PFC soft switch and a control method thereof, and belongs to the field of a circuit topology. The bidirectional PFC soft switch and the control method thereof,which are used for improving the integral efficiency of a converter, are provided. The bidirectional PFC soft switch comprises a main loop and an auxiliary branch, wherein the main loop comprises a first switch tube S1, a second switch tube S2, a first resonant capacitor C1, a second resonant capacitor C2, an inductor L, a first filtering capacitor Co1 and a second filtering capacitor Co2, the auxiliary branch comprises a third switch tube S3, a fourth switch tube S4, a resonant inductor Lr, a transformer T and a full-bridge rectification bridge, the main loop is a bidirectional half-bridge PFC converter, soft switching of the main loop under a boost mode or a buck mode is assisted to be completed by the auxiliary branch, and soft switching of a switch tube of the auxiliary branch is alsoachieved.
