The 2023 Championship League was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place from 26 June to 21 July 2023 at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England. The event featured 128 players and was played as three rounds of round-robin groups of four, before a best-of-five final. It was the fourth edition of the ranking version of the Championship League, and the first ranking tournament of the 2023–24 season.
Luca Brecel was the reigning champion, having defeated Lu Ning 3–1 in the final of the previous ranking edition of the tournament. However, he opted not to enter the draw for the tournament and consequently was not defending the title. Other notable players choosing not to enter the draw were Mark Selby, Jack Lisowski, John Higgins, Mark Allen and Ding Junhui. [1] [2] [3] Six players who were due to enter the tournament, withdrew and were replaced including Ronnie O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson and Marco Fu. [4]
Shaun Murphy won the tournament, defeating Mark Williams 3–0 in the final to claim his twelfth ranking title. [5] [6]
The 2023 Championship League took place from 26 June to 21 July 2023 at the Morningside Arena in Leicester, England. [7] 128 players took part in the event. The competition began with 32 rounds of group matches with each group consisting of four players. [8] Two groups were played to a finish every day during four blocks using a two- table setup in the arena. The groups were contested using a round-robin format, with six matches played in each group. All matches in group play were played as best of four frames, with three points awarded for a win and one point for a draw. Group positions were determined by points scored, frame difference and then head-to-head results between players who were tied. Places that were still tied were then determined by the highest break made in the group.
The 32 players that topped the group tables qualified for the group winners' stage, consisting of eight groups of four players. [9] The eight winners from the group winners' stage qualified for the two final groups, [10] with the final taking place later on the same day. The winner took the Championship League title and a place at the 2023 Champion of Champions.
There were 20 players not currently on the professional tour who were entered into the draw as follows:
