Snooker's top stars set for telford return in 2025

Following the outstanding success of snooker’s Johnstone’s Paint Players Championship, the tournament will return to the Telford International Centre next year, with tickets on sale from 12pm today.

Fans packed the arena throughout the week to see snooker’s biggest stars battling for the title, culminating in a dramatic final as Mark Allen beat Zhang Anda 10-8.

Many sessions across the seven-day event were sold out, with tickets sales up 50% on 2023.

This was the first WST event staged in Telford since 2010, and given the tremendous support of the local fans, the decision has already been made to return to the same venue next season.

The 2025 Players Championship will run from March 17-23.

Once again the top 16 players from the one-year rankings will qualify.
