Here’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting:
- Stuart Bingham missed the Crucible this year after losing 10-7 to Matthew Stevens in the World Championship qualifying at Sheffield. This ended his chances to compete at the Crucible Theatre for 2026.[1][3]
- This marks the second consecutive year he failed to qualify for the Crucible, the first time this has happened in two decades for him.[3][1]
If you’d like, I can pull up the most recent articles from other outlets or look for any comments from Bingham or his team about next season and potential comebacks.
