Scottish Open qualifiers held at Mattioli Arena

The 2026 Scottish Open qualifiers are being held at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester from September 20 to 23. This event serves as the final leg of a three-event preliminary series following the Northern Ireland Open and International Championship qualifiers.

Players outside the world top 32 are competing for the remaining 32 spots in the venue stages, which will take place at the Meadowbank Sports Centre in Edinburgh from December 14 to 20. The top 32 ranked players have already been seeded directly into the Edinburgh stages. Former champion Luca Brecel is among the competitors seeking to return to the tournament where he previously won the Stephen Hendry Trophy in 2021. The total prize pool for the Scottish Open is £550,400.
