Snooker’s UK Championship has returned for 2025 with the best players in the world doing battle at the Barbican Centre in York to try and win one of the sport’s triple crown events.

Judd Trump lifted his second UK Championship title last year, beating Barry Hawkins 10-8 in an enthralling final, and the world No 1 kicked off the defence of his crown with a hard-fought 6-4 triumph over 2004 UK champion Stephen Maguire on Saturday afternoon.

Trump hasn’t actually won a tournament since that victory over Hawkins 12 months ago but will hope a return to York can kick-start a season where the 11 events so far have been won by 11 different men – showing the depth of quality in snooker at the moment.

Another man who hasn’t won a tournament during the current campaign is Ronnie O’Sullivan but he will look to add to his record tally of eight UK Championship crowns, starting with a last-32 clash against Zhou Yuelong on Tuesday afternoon, as old foe Mark Selby is a potential opponent in the last 16.

Meanwhile, the likes of reigning world champion Zhao Xintong, reigning Masters champion Shaun Murphy, three-time UK Championship winner Neil Robertson and four-time world champion John Higgins will also have their eye on the trophy. Here’s everything you need to know:
