A number of big names including Ali Carter, David Gilbert, Stuart Bingham and Jackson Page are among those seeking to force their way into the main draw, which starts this Saturday.

Just 16 qualifiers will make the cut for the first round proper, where the top-16 seeds lie in wait, including reigning champion Kyren Wilson.

Wilson won his first world title in 2024 and will be determined to make the most of an unpredictable season with numerous different tournament winners throughout the campaign.

World No. 1 Judd Trump enters the competition as favourite, but he has failed to hoist the trophy in Sheffield since 2019 despite his overall dominance of the rankings.
