English Open 2026: Three Days to Go in Brentwood

Three days until the break-off

The English Open 2026 starts on 12 October 2026. The last day is 18 October 2026. That leaves three days before the first ball is struck. The venue is in Brentwood, Great Britain. The discipline is snooker.

The numbers

The prize pool is £435,000. The event holds tier 2 status. Seven days of play decide who takes the biggest share of that money. Every frame matters from the opening session.

Why Brentwood

Brentwood hosts the English Open in 2026. The town in Great Britain becomes the centre of the snooker calendar for a week. Fans get seven straight days of matches, from 12 October to 18 October.
