Jacksonville is stepping into the spotlight as the permanent home of a new season-ending championship in professional pool. The inaugural Pro Billiard Series All Stars will run December 15–20, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, closing out the Predator Pro Billiard Series calendar with six days of high-level competition.
The event will draw a 32-player field — the top 12 men and top 12 women in the WPA World Rankings, plus four wildcards in each division — and spread competition across five formats: Women's All Stars, Men's All Stars, Men's Doubles All Stars, Women's Doubles All Stars, and Mixed Doubles All Stars. That team-based element is a deliberate departure from standard ranking events, requiring players who usually face each other as rivals to coordinate as doubles partners instead.
Jacksonville's connection to the sport runs deep: Predator Group, one of billiards' most recognized equipment brands, is headquartered in the city, making it a fitting anchor for what organizers intend to be an annual fixture. Two MVP awards will also be presented at week's end, determined by each player's overall match win-loss ratio across all formats.
Fans won't need a ticket to follow the action. Every match on all four competition tables will stream live and free on YouTube via Pro Billiard TV, Billiard TV, Amazon Prime, Samsung TV, and additional platforms throughout the event. Sponsors supporting the inaugural edition include Predator, Iwan Simonis, Aramith, Kamui, Seyberts, the WPA, and Visit Jacksonville, among others.
Full details on the event were announced by AzBilliards.com.
