This season’s Triple Crown Series begins with the 2025 UK Championship, and you can follow the latest results and schedule of play here.
The first of what are regarded as snooker’s big three tournaments – and the sport’s second-longest-running ranking event – will be held at the York Barbican Centre between November 29 and December 7.
The format for the UK Championship, where a top prize of £250,000 is on offer, mirrors that of the World Championship, with the top 16 seeds joined in the main event by a further 16 qualifiers.
Judd Trump is the reigning champion after beating Barry Hawkins 10-8 in a pulsating final 12 months ago.
The two-time winner, who also lifted the trophy in 2011, is aiming to retain his crown, while claiming his maiden silverware of 2025.
However, he faces stiff competition from six other multiple UK Championship winners, including eight-time champion Ronnie O’Sullivan, and three-time victors John Higgins, Neil Robertson and Ding Junhui.
Mark Selby and Mark Williams have also been victorious on two occasions, while the other players to have lifted the trophy still in the draw are Mark Allen, Shaun Murphy and reigning World champion Zhao Xintong.
World number two Kyren Wilson will be desperate to add his name to the roll of honour, as will 2024 runner-up Hawkins, with Si Jiahui, Wu Yize, Xiao Guodong and Gary Wilson comprising the remainder of the seeds.
Former Crucible semi-finalist David Gilbert, Zhang Anda and Elliot Slessor are among the qualifiers, while Julien Leclercq and 50-year-old David Lilley are appearing in the last 32 of the event for the first time.
All matches up to and including the Semi-Finals are to be contested over the best of 11 frames, with the final best of 19.
