The 2025/26 World Snooker Tour (WST) season is one of the most action-packed in recent memory, featuring 15 major events — including the three Triple Crown tournaments — spread across the UK, Europe, and Asia. The season runs from September 2025 through to the World Snooker Championship finale at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield in May 2026. Ranking events are open to all tour professionals, whilst a small number of prestigious invitation events feature only the top players in the world rankings. Prize funds range from £250,000 for the Gibraltar Open to a record £2,395,000 for the World Championship.
