Championship League (officially the BetVictor Championship League Snooker) is a professional snooker tournament devised by Matchroom Sport. The event was introduced in 2008 as an invitational qualifier to the Premier League Snooker series, where there is no audience and matches are played behind closed doors, and has since kept the unique format despite the discontinuation of the Premier League in 2012. It is one of the only tournaments that is not directly sanctioned by the World Snooker Tour along with the Champion of Champions.
The tournament was originally held at the Crondon Park Golf Club in Stock, Essex until 2016 and has since been held in Coventry, Barnsley, Milton Keynes and currently in Leicester. A ranking open event version of the tournament began in the 2020–21 season and is held alongside with the non-ranking version.
Mark Selby is the reigning champion of the invitational tournament, and Ali Carter is the reigning champion of the ranking tournament.
