The 2026 Northern Ireland Open takes centre stage in Belfast, and a live stream is available to watch all the action online.
The second leg of this season’s Home Nations Series comes from the hugely popular Waterfront Hall in Belfast from October 18 to 25, with a top prize of £100,000 on offer to the winner.
The top 32 players were seeded straight through to the main venue, while the rest of the field came through at least one qualifying round in Leicester last month.
Jack Lisowski is the reigning champion, after he lifted the Alex Higgins trophy in emotional fashion following a 9-8 victory over best friend and four-time winner Judd Trump in last year’s final.
The two players are among five former champions of this event, along with 2017 winner Mark Williams and 2024 victor Kyren Wilson.
Meanwhile, two-time champion Mark Allen makes his long-awaited first appearance of the season at his home tournament, where he faces a first-round clash with compatriot and good friend Jordan Brown.
Mark Selby and Neil Robertson – both winners of the English Open, Scottish Open and Welsh Open – have the chance to complete the series slam.
However, they will also face competition from the likes of Ronnie O’Sullivan, John Higgins and Shaun Murphy, along with World champion Wu Yize and world number one Zhao Xintong.
A live stream from both tables will be available on laptop, mobile and tablet devices in the UK and various other regions worldwide.
