UPDATE: Play will start at noon on Tuesday 9th

New Look for 2016                                  
The National Squash Championships, run by England Squash and Manchester City Council, return to the National Squash Centre in Manchester from 08-14 February 2016 with an exciting new look and feel.

For the first time there will be two glass courts in use allowing all main draw matches to be played on the glass.

Manchester's stunning new all glass court will take centre stage as the UK's top players compete for the coveted British titles, while the original court, built for the Commonwealth Games of 2002, will also be used throughout the week.

Triple World Champion Nick Matthew will be back looking for his eight title while Sarah-Jane Perry will be hoping to add to the maiden title she won last February.

In another exciting development the main qualification draws are in for a complete overhaul. Replacing the traditional format, qualification for both the men's and women's championships are being split into Under 21 and Over 21 draws with two qualification spots available from each, leading into 16 player main draws.

The Under 21 draws will double up as standalone British U21 Championships, with the finals being delayed and played on the showcourt during finals day.

In addition the event will feature a full masters championship with categories from men's & women's over 35 up to and including the men's over 80's which is set to make its debut. 2015 saw a record of almost 300 masters players compete in Manchester and another bumper entry is expected.
