The draw for the final stages of the Betfred World Championship will take place at 11 am on Thursday, April 18. (Not 10 am as previously stated).

You can watch it LIVE on Betfred TV, Betfred’s Facebook and Twitter platforms as well as World Snooker’s platforms. Just go on our Facebook page and click the live stream, or go on our YouTube channel.

Barry Hearn and John Parrott will be pulling the balls out as the top 16 seeds are drawn at random against the 16 players who come through the final qualifying round, which finishes on Wednesday night.

That will create the first round draw for the tournament proper at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, which runs from April 20 to May 6.
