The World Snooker Tour in the 2021–22 season will consist of a field of 122 professional players. The top 64 players from the prize money rankings after the 2021 World Championship, and 27 of the players who earned a two-year tour card the previous year automatically qualify for the season. Next, eight places are allocated to the top eight on the One Year Ranking List who have not already qualified for the Main Tour. Another four players came from the CBSA China Tour, and a further 14 places were available through the Q School (four Event 1 winners, four Event 2 winners, four Event 3 winners, and two from the Order of Merit).
