🎱 Ultimate Pool Women’s Series 2027

The Ultimate Pool Women’s Series enters an exciting new era in 2027, with the former Women’s Pro Series and Women’s Challenger Series merging to create one unified competition.

The new Series will feature 96 players, with every player competing in a round-robin group stage before progressing into a Gold, Silver or Bronze knockout competition.

This new structure brings the leading professional and amateur women together in one Series, providing more competitive matches, clear progression opportunities and a combined seasonal prize fund of £64,400.

⚙️ How the 2027 Women’s Series Works

The 2027 Women’s Series will feature 96 players competing across 16 groups.

• 16 groups of six players
• Round-robin group format
• Group matches are races to 5
• Every player competes in five group matches
• Top 16 players seeded across the 16 groups
• Final group positions determine which knockout competition each player enters
• Every player progresses into a knockout event

The group stages will take place across Friday and Saturday, with the Gold, Silver and Bronze knockout competitions beginning on Sunday.

📊 2026 Rankings and Seeding

The Women’s Pro and Challenger rankings from 2026 will be combined and carried forward into the new Women’s Series.

• Players from the 2026 Women’s Pro Series will occupy ranking positions 1–16 in the groups and will remain those seeds for the whole of the 2027 Season
• The Top 16 Womens Challenger players will be seeded also into the 16 Groups. These will be fluid though and will change after each event like they do now in the 2026 Season

This provides continuity from the 2026 season while bringing all players together within one unified ranking structure.
