Atlantic City to Host 2024 US Open Pool Championship

Atlantic City, New Jersey, will remain home of the U.S. Open Pool Championship at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City from August 19–24 in partnership with Caesars Entertainment and the Atlantic City Sports Commission.

Held for the fourth time at the New Jersey casino, the U.S. Open Pool Championship is the longest running major in the sport with a history dating to 1976. The U.S. Open has a prize fund of $300,000 and TV coverage across the globe. Defending champion Ko Ping Chung will lead the World Nineball Tour’s 128 professional players seeded among a 256-player field aiming to claim the prestigious title.

“We are thrilled to be hosting the US Open Pool Tournament for the fourth consecutive year in Atlantic City,” said Daniel Gallagher, director of sports sales for the Atlantic City Sports Commission. “Our seaside destination could not be better positioned to host this unique event in our world-class venues along with ample experiences for athletes and spectators.”

Players outside of the top 128 rankings will be able to qualify for Atlantic City through a number of US Open Pool Championship Qualifiers. Players will be able to compete in as many qualifiers as they choose up until qualification for an event. Once qualified, players will be unable to enter any additional qualifiers for the same Open event.
