About World Snooker Championship
The World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield is the most prestigious event in professional snooker. Held annually across 17 days in April and May, it draws the sport's 32 finest players to a sold-out 980-seat theatre for a tournament that demands both excellence and endurance. The 2026 edition features defending champion Zhao Xintong, who became the first Asian player to lift the trophy in 2025 with an 18-12 victory over Mark Williams. Judd Trump enters as the pre-tournament favourite, supported by a dominant season that has seen him win four ranking events. Ronnie O'Sullivan, the record seven-time champion, remains a constant threat at the Crucible despite a quieter season. The format is unique in world snooker. First-round matches are best-of-19 frames, second-round best-of-25, quarter-finals best-of-25, semi-finals best-of-33 and the final best-of-35 across two sessions. The extended format exposes weaknesses in concentration and stamina that shorter events do not reveal. Betting markets for the World Championship are among the most active in snooker. Outright winner odds are available from the start of the season, with ante-post value typically found among the top-16 seeds before the draw is made. Each-way betting at generous terms is common given the 32-player field.
