Here’s the latest available on the World Snooker Championship timetable, based on recent reports.
- The World Snooker Championship typically runs from mid to late April with the final(s) staged in early May. For 2025, the schedule featured a first round beginning around April 19–23 and a final around May 4–5, with the final score and match times published in BST. For 2026, previews and fixtures articles indicate the event returns to Sheffield's Crucible Theatre in April, with the semi-finals and final spread across the first weekend of May, matching the traditional rhythm of rounds leading up to the final.[3][4][5][7]
- Daily order of play and match dates are usually published close to the event and are reiterated by major outlets. Examples from recent coverage show round-by-round breakdowns (rounds, quarters, semis, final) and specific session times (e.g., 13:00 and 19:00 BST) for key matches.[1][5]
- Broadcasters and streaming arrangements are typically confirmed early; in the UK, the BBC commonly covers many sessions across multiple channels and iPlayer, with additional international outlets providing live or delayed coverage depending on region.[1]
Illustrative example of how a timetable is presented:
- Round One: dates in mid-April, with multiple sessions each day.
- Round Two, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals: spread across late April to early May.
- Final: usually a two-session day in May, with times around 13:00 and 19:00 BST.
If you’d like, I can pull the exact dates, session times, and match pairings for the current year’s championship and present them in a concise schedule. I can also include how to watch live in your location (Figino, Lombardy) and any regional broadcast details. Please confirm if you want the latest 2026 timetable compiled now.
