WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING JUDGEMENT DAYS DRAW, SCHEDULE AND HOW TO WATCH

World Championship qualifying has already been going on for more than a week but just two days remain, the Judgement Days when the 16 Crucible qualifiers will be decided.

There has already been plenty of drama and some big names have been eliminated early on, with the likes of Anthony McGill, Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Graeme Dott all gone before the final round.

With just the world’s top 16 at the Crucible, though, there are some seriously heavy hitters still needing to qualify, most notably the likes of Neil Robertson, Jack Lisowski, Stuart Bingham, Stephen Maguire and Hossein Vafaei.

We have also seen the highest quality in the qualifiers, with Noppon Saengkham knocking in a maximum in his win over Andy Hicks on Monday.

Eight players will book their spots at the famous old theatre on Tuesday, with eight more joining them on Wednesday night.

Then comes the draw for the first round of the World Championship proper on Thursday morning, but there is much to be decided before that.

The two Judgement Days will be shown on the World Snooker Tour Facebook and YouTube channels while also available to stream on Discovery+ and Machroom.Live.

The draw for the first round at the Crucible will be made early on Thursday, broadcast on BBC Radio Five Live at 8.30am.

The Crucible action begins at 10am on Saturday, with defending champion Luca Brecel in the opening session and Zhang Anda on the other side of the dividing wall.
