Schedule & Format

The Wuhan Open is switching to a tiered entry system for 2026, replacing the flat qualifying draw used in recent seasons. The top 16 seeds are placed straight into the last 64 but have their opening matches held over to the venue stages in Wuhan, while players ranked 17–32 also enter at the last-64 stage but had to fight through qualifying in Leicester to get there.

We'll publish the full day-by-day schedule and session times as soon as the official order of play is confirmed by the World Snooker Tour.

The Draw

The full player draw for the Wuhan Open 2026 will be added here as soon as it's officially released. Check back closer to 23 August, or follow our live scores page for real-time draw and results updates once the tournament is underway.

Players to Watch

Xiao Guodong heads to Wuhan as back-to-back champion, having beaten Gary Wilson 10–9 in a tense 2025 final to defend the title he first won in 2024. With a tiered seeding system sending the top names straight into the venue draw, expect the usual strong Chinese contingent alongside the leading UK-based qualifiers who battled through Leicester to book their place.

We'll update this section with confirmed line-up details and form guides as the tournament approaches.
