Kyren Wilson and John Higgins will contest the 2026 Masters final at Alexandra Palace. Wilson defeated Wu Yize in a semi-final, while Higgins beat world No. 1 Judd Trump. The tournament saw defending champion Shaun Murphy knocked out in the first round and Ronnie O'Sullivan withdraw for a second straight year.

The event featured several upsets, with Murphy losing to Wu Yize and Trump falling to Higgins. All first-round matches ended 6-2, and O'Sullivan was replaced by Chris Wakelin, who lost to Neil Robertson. The Masters is a prestigious invitational for the top 16 ranked players, excluding the world champion.

Higgins, a four-time Masters champion, faces Wilson, who is seeking his first title in this event. The final is a best-of-19 frames match, following a series of best-of-11 contests. This year's field included stars like Mark Selby and Ding Junhui, but the spotlight now shifts to the two finalists.
