2025 British Open

The 2025 British Open (officially the 2025 Unibet British Open) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 22 to 28 September 2025 at the Centaur in Cheltenham, England. Qualifying took place from 25 to 28 June at the Leicester Arena in Leicester. The fifth consecutive edition of the tournament since it was revived in 2021, it was the fifth ranking event of the 2025–26 snooker season, following the 2025 English Open and preceding the 2025 Xi'an Grand Prix. It was broadcast by ITV in the United Kingdom and Ireland for the final time before moving to Channel 5 from 2026, by local channels in China and elsewhere in Asia, and by WST Play in mainland Europe and all other territories. The winner received £100,000 from a total prize fund of £502,000. Mark Selby was the defending champion, having defeated John Higgins 10‍–‍5 in the 2024 final, but he lost 1–6 to Shaun Murphy in the semi-finals. The final was contested between Murphy and Anthony McGill, who reached his first ranking final in eight years. Murphy defeated McGill 10–7 to win his first British Open title and the 13th ranking title of his career. The event produced 74 century breaks, 11 during the qualifiers in Leicester and 63 at the main venue in Cheltenham. The tournament's highest break was a 144 by Gary Wilson in his second-round match against McGill.
