Preceded by 2019–20	2020–2021	Succeeded by 2021–22

The sport of professional snooker has had a world ranking system in place since 1976.^[1] Certain tournaments were given ranking status, with the results at those events contributing to a player's world ranking. The events that made up the 1976–77 snooker season were the first to use ranking points, awarding points from earlier seasons.^[1] Originally, the world rankings were decided based only on results in the World Snooker Championship, but other events were later added.^[1] The system used for the 2020–21 snooker season was first used in the 2010–11 season, where players were awarded ranking points based entirely on prize money won from these events.^[2] The rankings are based on the prior two seasons, with ten revisions after specific tournaments throughout the season.^[3] These revisions are used as official rankings, with points awarded in the current season overwriting those from two years prior.^[2]

Judd Trump began the season as the world number one and retained the position throughout, as he won five ranking events.^[4] Trump began the season with a lead of over 500,000 points, ahead of 2020 World Snooker Championship winner Ronnie O'Sullivan in second,^[5] and finished the season in first, above 2021 World Snooker Championship winner Mark Selby by 124,000 points.^[6]^[7]

Snooker world rankings 2021/2022: The professional world rankings for all the professional snooker players, who qualified for the 2021–22 season, are listed below. The rankings work as a two-year rolling list. The points for each tournament two years ago are removed when the corresponding tournament during the current season finishes. The following table contains the rankings which were used to determine the seedings for certain tournaments. Note that the list given below are just those rankings that are used for seeding tournaments. Other rankings are produced after each ranking event which are not noted here.

The official 2021/2022 snooker world ranking points for the professional snooker players on the World Snooker Main Tour in the 2021–22 season are based on performances in ranking tournaments over a two-year rolling period. The rankings at the start of 2021/2022 season are determined by prize money earned in the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons and are updated after every tournament carrying ranking status; the players are re-ranked at the beginning of the current season after removing players relegated at the end of the previous season from the ranking list. As points are accrued from tournaments throughout the current season, the points from the corresponding tournaments from two seasons earlier are dropped. The rankings are used to set the official tournament seedings at various points throughout the season; even though the rankings are officially updated after every tournament carrying ranking status not all the rankings are used as seedings, and only the rankings officially used as seedings are documented below. The total points accumulated by the cut-off dates for the revised seedings are based on all the points up to that date in the 2021/2022 season, all of the points from the 2020/2021 season, and the points from the 2019/2020 season that have not yet been dropped.
