The first round follows these time slots for the first four days of the event before switching to a 2:00 p.m. / 8:00 p.m. start time for the Last 16, Quarterfinals and Semifinals, as the 32-player draw is narrowed down to the final two ahead of the decider on Sunday, December 1.
The Final, played on a best-of-19 frames basis as opposed to the rest of the tournament's best of 11, will be held over two sessions starting at 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time (GMT) respectively, by the end of which the UK Championship winner will be crowned for 2024.
A mainstay on the schedule since 1977, most of the sport’s biggest names have etched their names onto the trophy.
What began as a tournament for only players from or with permanent residency in the UK, it ultimately became a ranking event open to the whole circuit in 1984.
Here is a rundown of all of the UK Championship snooker finals in its long and illustrious history.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is targeting a record-extending ninth UK Snooker Championship title in York as he looks to defend the trophy he won by beating Ding Junhui in the 2023 final.
The Rocket has had a lean 2024/25 season so far and is yet to make a final, with his best results being runs to the semi-finals at the Shanghai Masters and Xi'an Grand Prix.
