Carrying an increased total prize fund of over £550,000, the eventual champion will pocket £100,000 - this top prize is up £20,000 from last year.
This season's Home Nations Series events - the English, Northern Ireland, Scottish, and Welsh Opens - have been revamped, with a change to a tiered draw, boosted prize money, and a £150,000 bonus prize for the player who earns the most cumulative money across the four events. The English Open is the opening leg of this season's Series. For a more detailed analysis of the changes, please visit our article here.
All professional tour card holders are eligible to enter the English Open (and all Home Nations Series events). A total of 128 players are set to feature in 2024 English Open, this includes the entered professionals, two amateur wildcards as selected by England's governing body for snooker, and Q School top-up players who been invited to fill the 128 spaces.

The tiered draw system means those seeded 33 and lower will compete at some point during the opening two rounds of the event (12th-14th September), and the top 32 seeds enter the competition in round three (last 64) which begins on Monday 16th September; this is also when the live televised stages start. All matches throughout the event will be played at the Brentwood Centre.
