UK Championship Snooker 2021 | Draw, Live Scores and Schedule of Play

The stars of snooker return to York for the 2021 UK Championship, and you follow the latest results and schedule of play here.

Second only to the World Championship in terms of prestige and prize money, the UK Championship comprises a field of 128 players battling it out at the York Barbican.

First staged in 1977, the tournament is steeped in history and has provided some of the sport’s most memorable moments and defined careers over the years.

Having been held behind closed doors in 2020, the season’s first Triple Crown tournament returns to its spiritual home in front of a bumper York Barbican crowd.

Neil Robertson is the defending champion after defeating Judd Trump 10-9 in an epic, late-night final in Milton Keynes 12 months ago.

Ronnie O’Sullivan is the record seven-time UK Champion and is bidding to claim his first ranking title since the 2020 World Championship.

Multiple UK Champions Ding Junhui, John Higgins, Mark Selby and Mark Williams are looking to add to their tallies, while other former champions in action include Judd Trump, Shaun Murphy, Stephen Maguire, Matthew Stevens and Jimmy White.

Five-time UK Champion Stephen Hendry is making his return to the event for the first time in a decade, having come out of retirement last year.

This year’s UK Championship features a total 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 5, 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.
