The 2025 US Open Pool Championship returns for its 48th edition from 18-23 August at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, reinforcing its legacy as the most historic nineball event in the world.

A world-class 256-player field, including the top 128 professionals from the World Nineball Tour, will compete for the sport’s most prestigious title on one of its biggest stages. With an increased $500,000 prize fund and a record $100,000 winner’s purse, the stakes have never been higher.

Following last year’s thrilling final between World No. 1 Fedor Gorst and five-time US Open champion Shane Van Boening, Gorst returns to defend his title, setting the stage for another unforgettable battle among the sport’s elite.
