The upcoming Bermuda Championship, scheduled for late June 2026, is poised to bring a wave of excitement and economic activity to Hamilton and surrounding communities. The event, part of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association calendar, will feature a field of international talent, but several local players have been spotlighted as potential dark horses.

Local cueist Alex Thompson, who recently secured a bronze medal at the Caribbean Invitational, is expected to receive a wildcard entry. Thompson’s hometown support and his proven ability to perform under pressure make him a favourite among Bermudian fans. Another contender, 22‑year‑old Jamie Lee, has shown steady improvement in the regional circuit and is hoping to make a breakthrough on the home stage.

The tournament organisers have highlighted the economic benefits anticipated for Bermuda. With an estimated 3,000 visitors expected to stay in hotels, dine locally, and explore the island’s attractions, the event is projected to inject approximately $2 million into the local economy. The Bermuda Tourism Authority has announced a special promotion package for visitors, including discounted stays at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and free entrance to the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo.

While the event will run from June 24th to 29th, the local community can look forward to a week of vibrant street life, cultural exhibitions, and the chance to witness world‑class snooker in their own backyard. The Bermuda Championship is not just a sporting spectacle – it is a celebration of Bermuda’s hospitality and sporting spirit.
