2024–25 snooker world rankings

The sport of professional snooker has had a world ranking system in place since 1976.^[1] Certain tournaments were given "ranking" status, with the results at those events contributing to a player's world ranking. The events that made up the 1976–77 snooker season were the first to award players with ranking points.^[1] Originally, the world rankings were decided based only on results in the World Snooker Championship, but other events were later added.^[1] The system used for the 2024–25 snooker season was first used in the 2010–11 season, where players won ranking points based entirely on prize money won from these events.^[2] The rankings are based on the prior two seasons, with eight revisions after specific tournaments throughout the season.^[3] These revisions are used as official rankings, with points awarded in the current season overwriting those from two years prior.^[2]
