The 2022 European Open Pool Championship was a nine-ball pool tournament held from 9 to 14 August 2022 in Hotel Esperanto Fulda, Fulda, Germany. It was the inaugural event.

Tournament format

Similar to the 2021 U.S. Open Pool Championship and the 2022 UK Open Pool Championship, it will use a double-elimination bracket, with matches held as a race to 9 racks, until the last 16. There will be four loser rounds, with the first three being a race to 8 and the loser qualification being a race to 9. At that point it will become a single-elimination tournament, as a race to 11 racks. The final will be a race to 13 racks.
