# UK Open Pool Championship

The 2026 UK Open Pool Championship returns for its fourth edition from 26–31 May as Brentwood, Essex once again plays host to one of the sport’s premier events. Featuring the tournament’s signature 256-player field — including 64 seeded World Nineball Tour professionals — the UK Open promises six days of world-class action and high drama. Defending champion Aloysius Yapp returns after capturing his maiden Matchroom Major title in emphatic fashion last year, defeating Jonas Souto in the final to lift the trophy for the first time. Joining Yapp in the hunt for glory is World No.1 Fedor Gorst, who will be aiming to secure his first UK Open title, while former champions Joshua Filler, Eklent Kaçi, and Robbie Capito all return looking to reclaim the crown
