The 2024 World Snooker Championship was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 20 April to 6 May 2024. Organised by the World Snooker Tour, it was the 17th and final ranking event of the 2023–24 season. The tournament's title sponsor was car retailer Cazoo, so the event was promoted as the 2024 Cazoo World Snooker Championship.
The tournament was played at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England; it was the 48th consecutive World Snooker Championship to be staged at the venue, where it has been held annually since 1977. The qualifying rounds were played from 8 to 17 April at the English Institute of Sport, also in Sheffield. The event was broadcast domestically in the United Kingdom by the BBC, Eurosport and Discovery+, and by other broadcasters worldwide. The winner received £500,000 from a total prize fund of £2,395,000.
Kyren Wilson won the event, defeating qualifier Jak Jones 18–14 in the final, thus becoming the 28th snooker world champion. On his way to the final, Wilson eliminated Dominic Dale, Joe O'Connor, John Higgins, and David Gilbert in the earlier rounds of the tournament.
The defending champion was Luca Brecel who had defeated Mark Selby in the 2023 final; Brecel lost in the first round to David Gilbert. As a first‑time champion, Brecel was unable to defend his title at the venue and became the 19th player to experience the Crucible curse. There were 63 century breaks compiled in the main stage of the tournament, with a further 122 recorded in the qualifying rounds. Noppon Saengkham made a maximum break in the third round of qualifying.
