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 remains on track to defend his title after beating Neil Robertson to reach the final.

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.

He will face Mark Selby in the final at the Barbican after the four-time world champion overcame Shaun Murphy with an impressive semi-final performance.

Here’s everything you need to know:
