World Snooker

Season Description
The 2023–24 snooker season was a series of snooker tournaments played from 26 June 2023 to 26 May 2024.

Players
The World Snooker Tour in the 2023–24 season initially involved 130 professional players, but dropped to 129 players. The decrease in membership was due to Dechawat Poomjaeng letting his WPBSA membership lapse and thus meant he was automatically removed from the main tour.

This included 65 out of the top 68 players from the prize money rankings after the 2023 World Championship (Zhao Xintong, Yan Bingtao, and Lu Ning were banned from competition after an independent disciplinary tribunal found them guilty of match-fixing, and were not eligible to compete during the season) and 34 of the 35 players who earned a two-year card the previous year (Bai Langning was also banned from competition due to his involvement in match-fixing). The next four places went to the top four players on the one-year ranking list who had not already qualified for the tour. Seven players from international championships, two players from the Q Tour, three players from the CBSA China Tour, and two players from the World Women's Snooker Tour also received tour cards. A further eight places were assigned through the two 2023 Q School events. The finalists from both of the Asia-Oceania Q School events received tour cards. Marco Fu received an invitational tour card.
