The 2021–22 snooker season is an ongoing professional snooker season with tournaments being played from July 2021 to June 2022.
Players[edit]
The World Snooker Tour in the 2021–22 season consists of a field of 122 professional players.[1] The top 64 players from the prize money rankings after the 2021 World Championship, and 27 of the players who earned a two-year tour card the previous year automatically qualified for the season. Next, eight places were allocated to the top eight on the One Year Ranking List who had not already qualified for the Main Tour. Another four players came from the CBSA China Tour, and a further 14 places were eligible through the Q School (four Event 1 winners, four Event 2 winners, four Event 3 winners, and two from the Order of Merit).
New professional players[edit]
All players listed below received a tour card for two seasons.[1]

Top-up players[edit]
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic restricting the number of amateur qualification tournaments that could be run and thus the total size of the Main Tour for this season, World Snooker Tour announced that the following six players are guaranteed an invite to all eligible snooker events this season, alongside amateurs appointed by local governing bodies for the Home Nations Series. This was due to their ranking on the Q School Order of Merit:
