Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox individual snooker tournament

The 2015 UK Championship (officially the 2015 Betway UK Championship) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 24 November and 6 December 2015 at the Barbican Centre in York, England. It was the fourth ranking event of the 2015/2016 season.[1]

The 2014 champion Ronnie O'Sullivan, who had not played in professional competition since April, decided not to defend his title.[2] He made his debut as a pundit during the tournament, providing in-studio expert analysis for Eurosport alongside Jimmy White.[3]

On the opening day of the tournament, amateur player Adam Duffy defeated world number 9 and two-time UK Champion Ding Junhui 6–2, a result that was described as "one of the biggest upsets in UK Championship history".[4] In the sixth frame of his third-round match against Neil Robertson, Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh came close to achieving his first maximum break in professional competition, but missed the final black off the spot.[5]

The final between Australia's Neil Robertson and China's Liang Wenbo marked the first time that a British player did not compete in the UK Championship final.[6] In the sixth frame, Robertson made the 115th official maximum break in professional competition, and the first 147 break ever attained in a Triple Crown snooker final, for which he earned £44,000 (a rolling prize of £40,000 for a 147 break, plus the tournament's £4,000 highest break prize).[7] It was the fourth time in a row, that a maximum was made in a UK Championship. Robertson went on to defeat Liang 10–5 to claim his second UK Championship title, and the 11th ranking title of his career.[8]

A record 104 centuries were made during the tournament, including nine from Robertson and eight from Liang.[7]
