The 2026/27 World Snooker Tour season has begun with plenty of drama at the China Open and Wuhan Open Qualifiers taking place in Leicester.

Former Shoot Out champion Michael Holt produced a career highlight, scoring the first maximum break of his 30-year professional career — and the 242nd official 147 in snooker history.

Several young tour rookies have shown plenty of promise already, including England's Oliver Sykes and China Wang Xinbo. Want to know the full line up of 128 tour players this season? Click below.

WST are delighted to announce fans will be able to watch table one at all 26/27 season qualifying events live on WST PLAY with commentary.

David Hendon and others will be part of our expert commentary team, which will be on hand to guide subscribers through the drama.

This new benefit to PLAY will be available globally (excluding China). It means an extra 53 days of commentary led qualifying matches are on offer, including in the UK and Europe.

WST PLAY

For the third consecutive year, WST is delighted to welcome Machineseeker.com, Europe’s leading online marketplace for machinery, as the title sponsor of the historic German Masters.

WST is pleased to confirm that Unibet will return as title partner of the British Open for a third consecutive year when the unique event takes place in Cheltenham this upcoming season.

Shaun Murphy has been awarded an OBE in the 2026 King's Birthday Honours for services to snooker and charity.

The 2005 World Champion turned professional in 1998 and has enjoyed a glittering career, winning 13 ranking titles and completing snooker's Triple Crown by capturing all three of the sport's most prestigious events.

Away from the baize, Murphy has devoted much of his time to charity, including work with orphanages in Harare in 2006, being a patron of the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital from 2015 and recently becoming a patron of the Rainbows Children's Hospice in Leicestershire.

WST is giving two sets of fans the chance to secure the most exclusive seats in the Palace at the Johnstone’s Paint Masters, with an unforgettable experience in our luxury 147 Club Hospitality.

The 147 Club offers the ultimate way to enjoy the action and atmosphere in comfort and style. Individual luxury armchairs provide generous legroom and exceptional comfort, while the prime-view seating at the Baulk End of the Arena delivers some of the best sightlines in the venue.

Guests will also enjoy exclusive access to the 147 Club Lounge, with tickets including a refined two-course buffet dining experience and an all-inclusive drinks package.
