The premier pool championship returns for 2026. Five weeks of solids and stripes, streamed live and settled on the table. Come take your shot, or pull up a seat.
8 Ball x Domination is Optimum's flagship pool championship, bringing together a competitive field of players for five weeks of intense match play. It is a test of skill, strategy, composure and consistency, where every rack matters and every result shapes the road ahead.
As the tournament progresses, the field gets smaller, the pressure gets greater and the margin for error disappears. Players must adapt, execute and perform when it matters most if they hope to stay in the competition.
One field. One journey. One crown. One Pool King.
2025 proved the format. A packed room, an audience that stayed until the last ball dropped, and a champion nobody saw coming. The debut turned a one off into a fixture.
2026 raises everything. A deeper field, a longer run, and a bigger stage, all streamed live from the first break to the final rack.
8 Ball x Domination started with a simple idea: bring players together, put their skills to the test and create an experience people would want to be part of. What began as a single night of competition has grown into Optimum's flagship pool championship and one of the most anticipated events on the competitive calendar.
Every stage is designed to test more than shot-making. Strategy, consistency, composure and the ability to perform under pressure all matter.
Domination has grown into more than an event on the calendar. It has become part of Optimum's competitive culture, bringing players, supporters and colleagues together around a shared experience that gets bigger with each staging.
Every player enters with the opportunity to leave their mark on the competition. Win enough racks, survive enough battles and rise above the field, and there is one title waiting at the end of the journey:
The Dominator x Pool King.
