# Florida Open Pool Championship

The Florida Open returns to the Caribe Royale Resort, Orlando from 4–9 August 2026, as the World Nineball Tour heads back to the Sunshine State for its second edition. Following a blockbuster debut that ended with a sold-out final, the event quickly established itself as one of America’s premier pool tournaments. A 256-player field — including 128 World Nineball Tour professionals — will compete across six days of elite nine-ball action. Reigning champion Aloysius Yapp returns after defeating Shane Van Boening in last year’s dramatic final, with another world-class field set to battle it out in Orlando
