The revised format allowed the highest-ranked players to qualify directly for the main draw while retaining a preliminary route for players outside the top 24.
The tournament was held at Arena MK in Milton Keynes from 13 to 16 November 2025. The preliminary group stage and knockout rounds were played before the main televised sessions.
