The 2025–26 snooker season is an ongoing professional snooker season with tournaments played between June 2025 and May 2026, including the professional World Snooker Tour, the second-tier Q Tour and featured events from World Women's Snooker and World Seniors Tour.

Overview

It was the first season in which three consecutive ranking finals—the 2025 Saudi Arabia Masters, 2025 Wuhan Open, and 2025 English Open—went to deciding frames.[1] Jack Lisowski won his maiden ranking title at the 2025 Northern Ireland Open, defeating Judd Trump 9‍–‍8 in the final.[2] Wu Yize secured his first ranking title at the 2025 International Championship, beating John Higgins 10‍–‍6 in the final.[3] Alfie Burden claimed his first ranking title at the 2025 Shoot Out, defeating Stuart Bingham in the final. Burden, who won the title aged 48 years and 364 days, became the oldest maiden winner of a ranking event, as well as the second player to win a ranking event as an amateur.[4]

The Class of '92 continued to set records for their longevity in the sport. Mark Williams won the 2025 Xi'an Grand Prix aged 50 years and 206 days, becoming the oldest player ever to claim a ranking title. The record had previously been held by Ray Reardon, who won the 1982 Professional Players Tournament aged 50 years and 14 days.[5] At the 2025 Saudi Arabia Masters, aged 49 years and 253 days, Ronnie O'Sullivan became the oldest player to record an official maximum break.[6] At the 2026 Masters, aged 50 years and 245 days, John Higgins became the oldest finalist in any Triple Crown tournament, again surpassing Reardon, who had been 50 years and 114 days old when he played in the 1983 Masters final.[7] At the 2026 Players Championship, at the age of 50 years and 280 days, Higgins became the second-oldest finalist at any ranking tournament, surpassed only by Rex Williams, who was aged 53 years and 98 days when he lost 6‍‍–‍10 to Jimmy White in the final of the 1986 Grand Prix.[8]

The season set a new record for the most maximum breaks made in a single season, currently 22 as of the 2026 German Masters, surpassing the 15 set in the previous season.[9] O'Sullivan became the first player to make two maximum breaks in a one-session match, or on the same day, when he compiled the 16th and 17th maximums of his career in his 2025 Saudi Arabia Masters semi-final against Chris Wakelin.[6] At the 2025 International Championship qualifiers in Sheffield, Neil Robertson made the 1,000th century break of his career, becoming the fourth player to reach that milestone, after O'Sullivan, Higgins, and Trump.[10] At the main stage of the same tournament, Bai Yulu made a century of 145, setting a new record for the highest break by a female player in professional competition.[11]

Players

The World Snooker Tour includes the top 64 players from the prize money rankings after the 2025 World Championship, plus the additional 31 players[a] who earned a two-year card the previous year. Those 95 players were joined by the 34 players who acquired a two-year tour card this year to form a 128-player[b] tour for the 2025–26 season.[12]

New professional players

Zhao Xintong won the 2025 World Snooker Championship as an amateur and re-joined the top 64 in the official world rankings to secure professional status for the season.[c]

The players listed below received a two-year tour card for the 2025–26 and 2026–27 seasons.[12]
