How to watch Scottish Open snooker 2024: Live stream, TV channel, draw and prize money

Some of the biggest names in snooker are heading to Edinburgh for the Scottish Open.

Stars including Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Selby and Scotland's very own John Higgins will be competing for the Stephen Hendry Trophy across a packed week of action at Meadowbank - with reigning champion Gary Wilson determined to secure the title for a third year in succession. The tournament won't feature the world number one however, with Judd Trump saying that he'll be restricting his competition time as he aims for World Championship glory at the Crucible in April.

In total there are six Scots in the draw; with Wizard of Wishaw Higgins joined by Stephen Maguire, Dean Young, Scott Donaldson, Anthony McGill and Graeme Dott in the quest for glory. You have to go all the way back to 1999 for the last time a home player won the tournament however, as Stephen Hendry defeated Dott in an all-Scottish showdown. After being drawn together for January's Masters meanwhile, John Higgins and old rival Ronnie O'Sullivan could meet at the last 16 stages - if both veterans can get through their first two ties.

The Scottish Open gets underway on Monday December 9 and runs until the final on Sunday December 15. The first sessions, featuring reigning champion Gary Wilson, start from 10am.

Live coverage of the event will be on Eurosport 1 - starting at 1pm on December 9.
