Your complete guide to how to watch the UK Championship 2023 on TV and live stream, including full broadcast details.
The UK Championship arrives with a host of elite snooker stars bristling at the top of the rankings, each aiming to convert a successful season so far into a glittering one.
Judd Trump won three ranking events in a row in a stellar October to push to the top of the one-year list, while Mark Allen triumphed over Trump in the Champion of Champions final to throw his name up in lights.
Allen is the reigning UK Championship title holder and will be determined to build a head of steam following his terrific display in Bolton last week. However, he faces stern tests on all sides.

Chinese dark horse Zhang Anda has enjoyed a terrific season so far, 14 years after turning pro. He won the International Championship and finished as runner-up in the English Open to put his name firmly back on the map following several years of intermittent pro status.
And then there’s The Rocket. Ronnie O’Sullivan has only featured in four tournaments this year to date, following a series of withdrawals.
He cited “mentally feeling a bit drained and stressed” for dropping out of the Champion of Champions, but fans will hope their hero is able to compete this week.
