The 2026 German Masters (officially the 2026 Machineseeker German Masters)[1] is an upcoming professional snooker tournament that will take place from 26 January to 1 February 2026 at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany. Qualifying is taking place from 5 to 8 January at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield, England. The 16th consecutive edition of the German Masters since it was revived in 2011, it will be the 12th ranking event of the 2025–26 snooker season, following the 2025 Scottish Open and preceding the 2026 World Grand Prix. The winner will receive £100,000 from a total prize fund of £550,400.
Kyren Wilson will be the defending champion, having defeated Barry Hawkins 10–9 in the 2025 final.
Overview
[edit]The tournament originated as the German Open, a ranking event that was staged for three consecutive editions from 1995 to 1997. The inaugural champion was John Higgins, who defeated Ken Doherty 9–3 in the 1995 final.[2] After being staged as the non-ranking German Masters in 1998, the tournament dropped off the calendar until it was restored in 2011, once again as a ranking event.[3][4] The first winner of the tournament after its revival was Mark Williams, who defeated Mark Selby 9–7 in the 2011 final.[5]
The 2026 edition of the tournament—its 16th consecutive staging since its revival in 2011—will take place from 26 January to 1 February at the Tempodrom in Berlin, Germany.[6] Qualifying is taking place from 5 to 8 January at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield, England.[6][7] It will be the 12th ranking event of the 2025–26 snooker season, following the 2025 Scottish Open and preceding the 2026 World Grand Prix.[8] Kyren Wilson will be the defending champion, having defeated Barry Hawkins 10–9 in the 2025 final to win his second German Masters title.[9]
