Championship League snooker 2025 prize money: How much can Ronnie O’Sullivan & Judd Trump win in Leicester?
RONNIE O’SULLIVAN, Judd Trump and the world’s best snooker players are on their way to Leicester this week for the Championship League group stages.
Defending champion Mark Selby and world champion Kyren Wilson are also part of a field featuring most of the world’s very best players.
The non-ranking event is seen as the perfect place for top snooker stars to get their eye in for the Masters – which starts on January 12 at Ally Pally.
But how much is up for grabs at the Leicester Arena?
Championship League 2025 prize money
The total prize pot for the Championship League stands at a minimum of £152,800 and maximum of £205,000.
That’s because there are prizes for winning frames that means matches that go to 3-0 pay different to those that go to 3-2.
It’s a relatively small prize pot – especially with the Masters topping £1million in a couple of weeks.
But as mentioned above, the tournament is more about players trying to find form rather than earn big prizes.
A top prize of £10,000 will be banked for the overall win, but the winner will have earned other frame bonuses.
The breakdown is as follows:
Groups 1-7
- Winner: £3,000
- Runner-up: £2,000
- Semi-final: £1,000
- Frame-win (league stage): £100
- Frame-win (play-offs): £300
- Highest break: £500

List of all-time Snooker World Champions

The first World Championships ran from 1927 – with a break from 1941-45 because of World War II and 1958-63 because of a dispute in the sport.
