16 players remain at the English Open 2026, with the weekend's final fast approaching.
New World No.1 Zhao Xintong was one of the players to suffer an early exit but there are still some big names in the running for the top prize, including two-time winners Mark Selby and Judd Trump.
The fifth ranking tournament on the World Snooker Tour schedule is the first of the Home Nations series – with the Northern Ireland Open, Scottish Open, and Welsh Open still to come in 2026/27.
Mark Allen is the defending champion after beating Zhou Yuelong in the final of last year's event but the Northern Irishman is absent after withdrawing due to personal reasons.
It promises to be a fantastic week of snooker and UK fans don't have to miss a moment.
