The 2024 Wuhan Open (officially the 2024 Optics Valley of China Wuhan Open) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 6 to 12 October 2024 at the China Optics Valley Convention & Exhibition Center (COVCEC) in Wuhan, China. The sixth ranking event of the 2024–25 season, it followed the 2024 British Open and preceded the 2024 Northern Ireland Open. The winner received £140,000 from a total prize fund of £700,000.
Qualifiers took place from 28 to 30 July 2024 at the Leicester Arena in Leicester, England. Qualifying matches featuring the defending champion (Judd Trump); the reigning World Champion (Kyren Wilson); the two highest ranked Chinese players (Ding Junhui and Zhang Anda); four Chinese wildcards (Cai Wei, Wang Xinbo, Zhou Jinhao, and Huang Hao); and Mark Joyce[a] were held over and played in Wuhan.
Trump won the inaugural 2023 event, defeating Ali Carter 10–7 in the final,[1] but he failed to defend his title, losing 2–6 in the semi‑finals to Si Jiahui. Xiao Guodong won the tournament, defeating Si 10–7 in the final to claim the first ranking title of his career. The tournament produced 114 century breaks, with 32 made during the qualifying stage and 82 during the main stage.
