Riyadh is set to host the Kingdom Billiards and Snooker Championship 2026, a national event bringing together male and female players from across Saudi Arabia. Organized and supervised by the Saudi Billiards and Snooker Federation, the championship carries a total prize value exceeding 650,000 SAR.
The championship is split across two disciplines and two venues. Billiards competitions will run from 18 to 25 September 2026 at Localizer Mall in Riyadh, featuring 9-ball events for men, women, and juniors, in addition to a 10-ball event for men. The matches will take place inside the mall's event area.
Snooker competitions follow from 2 to 10 October 2026 at Ronnie's Academy in Boulevard City, Riyadh, positioned as a major competitive stop within the championship program.
Why it matters
The event forms part of a broader long-term push to establish the Kingdom as a home for major cue sports, including multi-year agreements to stage world pool and snooker events. Including dedicated categories for women and juniors reflects the growing space for a wider range of players in Saudi sport.
At this stage, official announcements do not specify ticket prices or spectator entry policies for either venue, nor do they detail player registration fees or step-by-step registration procedures. Participation appears to be managed directly through the federation's structures rather than through national e-platforms. The listed dates represent the full competition windows, with no schedule changes indicated in the latest updates.
