2024 International Championship Snooker: Full draw, results, format, prize money, schedule, how to watch


However, the majority of first round matches in this £825,000 World Snooker Tour competition were played at Ponds Forge in Sheffield between September 30 to October 2.
Open to all professional tour card holders, the 2024 International Championship featured 128 players in a flat draw, meaning all entrants start out in the opening round. Four 'local' wildcards have also been invited.

As mentioned earlier, most of the opening round is completed before the action starts in the Far East, although nine first round matches have been held over and will be played at the main venue in November.
These ties involve Zhang Anda (defending champion), Kyren Wilson (World Champion), Ronnie O'Sullivan (promoter's pick), Ding Junhui and Si Jiahui (two highest ranked Chinese players other than Zhang) and the four matches involving the Chinese wildcards. All these outstanding round one fixtures are scheduled to be played on November 3rd.
The International Championship was held every season from 2012 to 2019, and it returned to snooker’s top tier calendar in 2023 following cancellations due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. It has previously been held in Chengdu (2012-14), Daqing (2015-19) and Tianjin (2023). Nanjing will be a new host city for the prestigious event.
A potted history on the International Championship is here. Zhang Anda is the defending champion having defeated Tom Ford 10-6 in last year's final to claim his maiden ranking event title. Zhang also compiled a maximum 147 break during the final.
