The sixth edition of the Matchroom Sport tournament, which is held at Mattioli Arena in Leicester, is the first ranking event of the 2025/26 season on the felt.

The 32 table-toppers from Stage One have been rearranged into eight groups of four and the winner from each will progress into Stage Three, which starts with the Winners' groups and ends with the final.

Defending champion Ali Carter exited early, but among those still in the field are former world champion and Masters winner Stuart Bingham and Ng On-yee, the first woman to reach the last 32 of a professional ranking event.

Fans will be delighted by free-to-air coverage of the sport coming up over the next week, and we have the details below.
