World Seniors Snooker Launches New Season with Increased Prize Money
World Seniors Snooker (WSS) have today announced the dates for the 2025/26 season which will see nine tour events, with a minimum of four places available for players in their 2026 World Seniors Snooker Championship via the ranking list qualification system
Changes for the new campaign mean anyone over 40, including World Snooker Tour (WST) professionals, are now eligible to participate in the tour events which will see the winner’s prize doubled each weekend to £1,000 and prize money being paid down to the last 16.
Jason Francis, Chairman of WSS, said “This season there are a lot more players eligible to play, including a number of WST professionals, and we have pledged £27,000 in prize money across our nine events which is more than double the amount that was on offer last season. If you are over 40, now is the time to dust off your cue and come and enjoy some friendly but serious competition”
The season will begin on Friday 15 August 2025 with all events played at the Crucible Sports and Social Club in Reading.
