Snooker tournament

The 2023 UK Championship (officially the 2023 MrQ UK Championship) is an upcoming professional snooker tournament that is scheduled to take place from 25 November to 3 December 2023 at the York Barbican in York, England. The eighth ranking event and first Triple Crown event of the 2023–24 snooker season, the tournament will be the 47th edition of the UK Championship, which was first held in 1977. Organised by the World Snooker Tour and sponsored by online casino MrQ, the event will be broadcast domestically by the BBC and Eurosport. The winner will receive £250,000 from a total prize fund of £1,205,000.

The defending champion is Mark Allen, who defeated Ding Junhui 10–7 in the final of the 2022 event.

Format

The 2023 UK Championship is a professional snooker tournament that is scheduled to take place from 25 November to 3 December at the York Barbican in York, England. The eighth ranking event and first Triple Crown tournament of the 2023–24 snooker season, the tournament was the 47th edition of the UK Championship, which was first held in 1977 as the United Kingdom Professional Snooker Championship. For the tournament's first seven years, only UK residents or passport holders were eligible to compete. At the 1984 event, the UK Championship became a ranking tournament open to players of any nationality, which has remained the case since.

The 2023 event uses the same format as the 2022 edition, the same as the World Championship. It replaced the flat-128 draw that was used for nine years from 2013 to 2021. The top 16 players in the snooker world rankings will be seeded through to the round of 32. An additional 128 players—comprising professionals ranked outside the top 16, leading amateur players from the WPBSA's Q Tour and other amateur events, and top-performing junior players from the UK—will compete in a four-round qualifying tournament from 18 to 23 November at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, with higher ranked players given byes to the later rounds. The 16 successful qualifiers will advanced to the round of 32 in York, where they will be drawn at random against the top 16 seeds.

All matches before the final will be played as the best of 11 frames, and the final will be played as the best of 19 frames. The main stages of the event will be broadcast in the UK by the BBC and Eurosport, and in Europe by Discovery+ and Eurosport. The defending champion is Northern Irish player Mark Allen, who won his first UK Championship title at the previous year's event, defeating China's Ding Junhui 10–7 in the final.

Prize fund

The event will feature a total prize fund of £1,205,000, with the winner receiving £250,000. The tournament will be sponsored by online casino MrQ. The breakdown of prize money for the event is shown below:
