World Disability Snooker Day 2026

This year’s annual World Disability Snooker Day will run during the upcoming World Snooker Championship on Wednesday 22 April 2026.

The day aims to raise awareness of the opportunities for people with disabilities to pick up a cue and get involved in snooker.

The event is jointly organised by World Snooker Tour (WST) and WDBS, a subsidiary body of snooker’s world governing body the WPBSA.

Qualified WPBSA coaches will lead a range of activities as invited WDBS cueists showcase their skills at the Sheffield Winter Garden Cue Zone.

Last year saw the day celebrate the landmark staging of the first ever World Disability Snooker Championship, which took place in Thailand, as well as the tenth anniversary of the WDBS Tour.

The WDBS Tour provides opportunities for people around the world with disabilities to play snooker competitively, with the long-term goal of taking the sport back to the Paralympics for the first time since 1988.

GET INVOLVED

As always, WDBS is encouraging everyone who supports disability snooker to get involved on the day, whether on site at the Cue Zone, or online via social media.

Whether you are a player, official, coach or a fan of the sport, help us to spread the word and encourage more people with disabilities to pick up a cue and try snooker by using the hashtag #DisabilitySnooker
