How to buy 2026 World Snooker Championship tickets as deadline fast approaches
The World Snooker Tour (WST) have announced ticket details for the 2026 World Championship, including how to purchase seats at the Crucible and when they will become available. The hottest show in Sheffield is currently in town, with the biggest names in snooker vying to take Kyren Wilson’s title.
However, there are growing concerns about limited opportunities for fans to watch snooker’s blue-ribbon event in the UK. An influx of Saudi Arabian money in the sport has prompted calls for the World Championship to be moved out of Sheffield and instead be hosted overseas. Saudi and China are the leading candidates, with a host of big-money events already taking place in those countries. The Crucible has a contract to host the World Championship until 2027 and its future status as the venue is up in the air.
