Snooker is back at Alexandra Palace for the 2026 Masters, and you can follow the latest results and schedule of play here.
The world’s top 16 players descend on ‘Ally Pally’ for the sport’s most prestigious invitational event, which takes place from January 11-18.
A top prize of £350,000 is up for grabs, as well as the opportunity to lift the Paul Hunter trophy – named after the late three-time winner of the event.
Shaun Murphy is the reigning champion having defeated Kyren Wilson 10-7 in last year’s final to land the crown for a second time.
The Magician is joined in this year’s draw by fellow two-time winners Judd Trump, John Higgins, Mark Williams and Neil Robertson, as well as three-time champion Mark Selby.
Ding Junhui, who is one of a record five Chinese players at this year’s event, and Mark Allen are the other two former winners in the draw, having lifted the trophy in 2011 and 2018 respectively.
However, eight-time victor Ronnie O’Sullivan withdrew on the eve of the tournament for medical reasons, and was replaced by Chris Wakelin.
Kyren Wilson and Barry Hawkins – both two-time Masters finalists – are aiming to make it third time lucky this year and add their name to the roll of honour, as will be reigning World champion Zhao Xintong.
Gary Wilson and Si Jiahui are seeking their first match wins at the tournament, while the two debutants this year are Wu Yize and Xiao Guodong.
All matches up to and including the Semi-Finals are to be contested over the best of 11 frames, while the final is best of 19.
