English Open 2026 snooker order of play today (Monday 7 September) ...Middle East

The English Open – the first event in snooker's Home Nations series – gets up and running on Monday.

This week's tournament in Braintree comes early in the 2026/27 World Snooker Tour calendar, with the other three Home Nations, the Northern Ireland Open, Scottish Open, and Welsh Open, still to come in 2026/27.

Mark Allen has withdrawn and will not defend his 2025 title, which he claimed in a victory over Zhou Yuelong in the final last year.

Still, there is a star-studded first round line-up, including Neil Robertson, Kyren Wilson, Mark Selby, and World No. 1 Zhao Xintong.

There is some stellar snooker to come over the next week as we mark 10 years since the English Open was first held.

Radio Times brings you the daily order of play and full schedule for the English Open 2026.

We'll keep this page updated throughout the course of the tournament with all the latest times and coverage details.

All UK time. All sessions live on 5 unless specified. Coverage may switch channels mid-session, subject to change.
