Midnite has extended its partnership with the World Snooker Tour (WST) to cover the UK Championship. The deal makes the operator the official UK betting and casino partner of all three Triple Crown events, as it already backed the World Snooker Championship and the Masters.
The three tournaments are the most prestigious titles in the sport, and Midnite branding will now appear at all three venues: the York Barbican, Alexandra Palace in London and the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.
The UK Championship in numbers
- Dates: 28 November to 6 December 2026, at the York Barbican
- First staged: 1977
- Field: 32 players, the world’s top 16 plus 16 qualifiers
- Prize fund: a record £1.5 million, up from £1.2 million in 2025
- Winner’s cheque: £312,500
What Midnite said
Callum Wilson, Senior PR Manager at Midnite, said “snooker has been a fantastic sport for us to be involved with”, describing the new event as one that “feels like a natural next step for us.”
He added: “These are the three tournaments that every snooker player dreams of winning,” and said the company would keep “finding new ways to get involved in the sport and bring fans closer to the action.”
