The 2026 Championship League (officially the 2026 BetVictor Championship League Snooker) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place from 22 June to 15 July 2026 at the Leicester Arena in Leicester, England.[1] It was the seventh staging of the ranking edition of the tournament, which was first held in 2020. Organised by Matchroom Sport, it was the first ranking event of the 2026–27 snooker season, preceding the 2026 China Open. The winner received £33,000 from a total prize fund of £328,000.
Stephen Maguire was the defending champion, having defeated Joe O'Connor 3–1 in the final of the previous ranking edition,[2] but he was eliminated in Stage two Group C.
Jak Jones won the tournament, defeating David Gilbert 3–2 in the final.[3]
There were 53 century breaks made during Stage one, including a maximum by Si Jiahui in Group 6. There were 21 centuries made during Stage two, and 10 during Stage three.
Format
The competition began with 32 rounds of group matches with each group consisting of four players. Two groups were played to a finish every day using a two‑table setup in the arena. The groups were contested using a round‑robin format, with six matches played in each group. All matches in group play were played as best‑of‑four frames, with three points awarded for a win and one point for a draw. Group positions were determined by points scored, frame difference and then head‑to‑head results between players who were tied. Places that were still tied were then determined by the highest break made in the group. If the highest break was also tied, the next highest break made by the players was used.[4][5]
The 32 players that topped the group tables qualified for the group winners' stage, consisting of eight groups of four players. The eight winners from the group winners' stage qualified for the two final groups, with the final taking place later on the same day.[4] The winner received the Championship League title and a place in the 2026 Champion of Champions.[6][7]
