World Snooker Championship 2024: Draw, dates, results and Crucible schedule as Ronnie O'Sullivan misses out on eighth title

The 2024 World Snooker Championship takes place in Sheffield between April 20 and May 6.

Ronnie O'Sullivan won the World Championship in 2022 to equal Stephen Hendry's record of seven Crucible crowns but was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Stuart Bingham.

The Rocket had appeared on a collision course with Judd Trump in the semi-finals, only for Trump to be beaten 13-9 by Welsh qualifier Jack Jones in a shock result.
