The 2024 UK Championship (officially the 2024 Victorian Plumbing UK Championship)[1] was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 23 November to 1 December 2024 at the York Barbican in York, England. The 48th edition of the UK Championship, it was the ninth ranking event of the 2024–25 season, following the 2024 International Championship and preceding the 2024 Snooker Shoot Out. It was the first of the season's three Triple Crown events, preceding the 2025 Masters and the 2025 World Snooker Championship. Organised by the World Snooker Tour and sponsored by Victorian Plumbing, the event was broadcast by the BBC domestically, by Discovery+ and Eurosport in Europe, and by other broadcasters worldwide. The winner received £250,000 from a total prize fund of £1,205,000.
The top 16 players in the snooker world rankings were seeded through to the main stage. An additional 128 players competed in a four‑round qualifying tournament from 16 to 21 November at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester, with higher ranked players given byes to the later rounds. The reigning World Women's Champion Bai Yulu won her first three qualifying matches, becoming the first woman to win three matches at a professional ranking tournament. She lost to Jack Lisowski in the last qualifying round. The 16 successful qualifiers advanced to the main stage in York, where they were drawn at random against the 16 seeds.
Ronnie O'Sullivan was the defending champion, having defeated Ding Junhui 10–7 in the final of the 2023 event, but he lost 4–6 to qualifier Barry Hawkins in the first round. Judd Trump won the tournament, defeating Hawkins 10–8 in the final to secure his second UK Championship title, following his previous win at the 2011 event.[2] It was Trump's 30th ranking title and fifth Triple Crown title. The tournament produced a total of 128 century breaks, 83 in the qualifiers and 45 during the main stage.[3][4] The highest was a maximum break by Zhang Anda in his first‑round match against Lei Peifan.[5]
