**The Ultimate Pool Champions League returns for a fifth edition in January 2025.**

A professional-only ranking event for the third time will consist of 64 professional players.

Taking place on Monday nights from January 6, this unique 21-week event will be live from 18:00 GMT each week on TNT Sports, ultimatepool.tv and the Ultimate Pool App.

## Tournament Information

**Status:** Professional-Only Ranking Event

**Format:** **Phase One (64 Players):** 16 round robin groups of four players. Each match is the first to four frames, but with a 20-minute match-clock. If a player does not reach four frames before the time expires, the score stands as the result. Players receive two points for a win, one for a draw and no points for a loss.

At the end of all six fixtures, the top placed player will qualify for phase two. If there is a tie for top place, a 6-reds shootout will determine the winner.

If players are tied on points at the end of any group in the Champions League (phases one and two), a 6-reds shootout will determine final standings. This is also required as it is a professional ranking event and points need to be distributed.

**Phase Two (16 Players):** Four round robin groups of four players. Same format as phase one, except the group winner will qualify for Finals Night.

**Phase Three (4 Players):** Finals Night consisting of the four remaining players. There will be two knockout semi-finals followed by a final. All matches will be the best of two sets. A set is the first to four frames, but with a 20-minute match-clock. If a player does not reach four frames before the time expires, the score stands as the result.

At the end of each set, players receive one point for a win, half a point for a draw and no points for a loss.

If the score after the two sets are completed is tied, a 6-reds shootout will determine the winner.

The Golden Break and Golden Duck are in operation throughout the Champions League.

## Coverage

For viewers in the UK, there will be live coverage on TNT Sports. There will also be live coverage for all subscribers on ultimatepool.tv and the Ultimate Pool App.
