Ronnie O’Sullivan is the record seven-time UK Champion and is bidding to add this trophy to his sixth World Championship triumph back in August.

World number one Judd Trump, last week’s Northern Ireland Open champion, is vying for a second UK Championship title, nine years on from his first.

Multiple UK Champions John Higgins, Mark Selby, Mark Williams and Neil Robertson are out to add to their tallies, while other former champions in action include Shaun Murphy, Stephen Maguire, Matthew Stevens and Jimmy White.

This year’s UK Championship features a record prize fund of £1.09 million, with the winner receiving £200,000, while a £15,000 bonus is up for grabs for the highest break.

The tournament runs from November 23 to December 6, with all matches up to and including the Semi-Finals to be contested over the best of 11 frames and the final best of 19 frames.
