🎱 Ultimate Pool Women’s Champions League 2026

The Ultimate Pool Women’s Champions League makes its debut in 2026, becoming a brand-new addition to the Ultimate Pool calendar.

This inaugural event has been introduced to further strengthen the women’s professional pathway and provide a prestigious league-format ranking event within the women’s schedule.

Tournament Overview

Status: Women’s Professional Ranking Event
Edition: Inaugural (New for 2026)

The Women’s Champions League will feature 32 players (Mostly Professionals), competing across multiple phases in a structured league-and-finals format.

The competition will run across 11 weeks as the opening series of Ultimate Pool's Monday Night Pool for 2026, with weekly shows starting from 18:00 GMT. The tournament will be broadcast live on TNT Sports in the UK, and in over 60 countries worldwide (check local listings).

Tournament Format

After all six fixtures are completed, the top player from each group will qualify for Phase Two.
