Burden Seeking To Retain Title As World Seniors Championship Begins


Two days after Wu Yize became the second Chinese player to lift the Halo World Snooker Championship following a highly dramatic final, snooker swiftly returns to the iconic Crucible Theatre for the 2026 JenningsBet World Seniors Snooker Championship, which takes place from today (6th May) until 10th May and which will be shown live on both 5Action and streamed via Pluto TV.

Last year's champion, Alfie Burden, will be looking to defend his title against the biggest line-up for the tournament, including the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan, Jimmy White, Stuart Bingham and Reanne Evans.

Although there will be the same two-table set up as in the main championship, this time, there will be no partition between the two tables so all those in the Crucible will be able to view the action on both tables.
