WDBS Tour 2025/26 | Calendar Update
The first dates of the 2025/26 World Disability Billiards and Snooker (WDBS) season have today been confirmed with the Tour set to head to Albania and Ireland over the coming months.
With the groundbreaking 2024/25 campaign set to conclude this Saturday with the season-ending Champion of Champions, anticipation is already building ahead of next season as the Tour continues its international growth with approximately 200 players now on the official world ranking list.
The first two dates on the calendar are now confirmed, with a further event planned for September to be announced as soon as possible.
EBSA European Championship 2025
The WDBS Tour will return to the prestigious European Championships from 15-19 October 2025 with this year’s event set to be held in Golem, Albania.
The five-day ranking event will again see individual tournaments held for each of the eight core classification groups, with Dave Beaumont, Andy Lam, Carl Gibson, Dave Bolton, Matthew Haslam and Luke Drennan aiming to successfully defend their titles earned previously in Portugal.
Irish Open 2025
Also set to return for a third year is the WDBS Irish Open, which will run from 21-23 November 2025 at the SBI HQ in Carlow Ireland.
Organised in partnership with Snooker and Billiards Ireland, the national governing body for snooker and billiards in Ireland, the ranking event is once again ready to welcome players from around the world to the Emerald Isle.
EPSB English Championship 2025
In addition to these two world ranking events, the inaugural EPSB English Disability Snooker Championship will take place across the weekend of 23-24 August 2025 at the iconic Northern Snooker Centre, Leeds.
Open to players from England only, winners at the event have the unique opportunity to become the first ever national champions for disability snooker recognised by national governing body the English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards, with a significant entry expected.
The event will be supported by WDBS, with recognised staff on site to welcome players and organise the competition.
Further details on entry for the above events will be announced in due course.
