Championship League Snooker 2026 | Draw, Results and Schedule of Play

The first trophy of the 2026-27 season will be won at the Championship League, and you can follow the latest results and schedule here.

The Mattioli Arena in Leicester will play host to the seventh ranking edition of the 128-man event, which takes place from June 22 to July 15.

All players are divided into 32 groups of four. The 32 players that top the group tables qualify for the group winners’ stage, consisting of eight groups of four players.

The eight winners from the group winners’ stage then qualify for the two final groups. The overall winner takes the £33,000 title and a place at the Champion of Champions later this year.

Stephen Maguire is the reigning champion, after beating Joe O’Connor 3-1 in last year’s final.

Maguire is joined by fellow former winners Ali Carter and David Gilbert, while Luca Brecel has won both the ranking and invitational editions of this event.

Other former champions of the latter in this year’s tournament are Stuart Bingham, Marco Fu, Matthew Stevens and Scott Donaldson.

World number three Zhao Xintong is the highest-ranked player in the draw, with Chris Wakelin and Si Jiahui the other members of the top 16 to feature. Kyren Wilson also entered, but withdrew due to personal reasons.

The groups are contested over a round-robin format, with all matches played as best of four frames, with three points awarded for a win and one point for a draw.

Group positions are determined by points scored, frame difference and then head-to-head results between players who were tied. Places that are still tied are then determined by the highest break made in the group.
