From April 2 to 8, the 2018 China Open (Snooker) will take centre stage at the Olympic Sports Center in Beijing. 72 snooker players from around the world will gather to compete for the record-breaking prize pool of over £1m. Reportedly, the prize pool for the 2018 China Open (Snooker) is the second highest for a global snooker event, only being outranked by the World Snooker Championship.

The China Open is a professional snooker tournament in China.

After the 2001 tournament the event was abandoned but was revived for the 2004/05 season.
