Kyren Wilson is the defending champion and world number 2, so he’s a favourite to win in 2025. Although he’s behind Judd Trump in rankings, he always delivers a solid performance and has one World Championship under his belt. That said, Trump’s aggressive style of play and heavy scoring potential make him a contender for any title. Seven-time world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan’s sheer talent and experience make him a threat even when not at peak form, and many fans would love to see him win for an eighth time. Is the Snooker World Championship moving away from The Crucible? The World Snooker Championship’s future at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield is uncertain. The current contract expires in 2027, and while there’s a strong desire to keep the tournament at its historic home, several factors are at play. The Crucible’s intimate atmosphere is prized by many, but its limited seating capacity of 980 seats presents commercial challenges. A larger venue could accommodate more fans and potentially generate higher revenue through ticket sales and sponsorships. A proposal for a new, larger venue in Sheffield has been suggested to keep the tournament in the city beyond 2027 but other locations in China and Qa’tar have also been suggested. If it does move, getting 2025 tickets – whether bought on the Crucible theatre website or through Stubhub – will be your chance to witness snooker history and catch the event in a 980-seater capacity venue for one of the final times.
