The International Championship is a major professional snooker tournament and a ranking event on the World Snooker Tour, bringing leading players from around the world to compete for the title and valuable ranking points. First staged in 2012, it is held in China, with its host city and playing venue changing between editions; past locations have included Chengdu, Daqing, Tianjin and Nanjing. Rather than teams, the competition features individual players, including world champions, established tour professionals and qualifiers seeking a breakthrough run. Notable past winners include Judd Trump, Ding Junhui, Mark Selby, John Higgins and Mark Allen, reflecting the tournament’s strong international field. Matches are played on regulation snooker tables in an indoor arena, with rounds progressing from early-frame contests to longer matches in the later stages. Fans can follow the draw, match results, schedule and player performances throughout the event. The International Championship has become an important fixture in the snooker calendar, combining elite competition with the sport’s growing audience in China and offering a high-profile stage for players aiming to add a ranking title to their careers.
