Mark Allen made the 124th official maximum break in the 7th frame of his last 64 match against Rod Lawler.[5] It was Allen's first maximum break, and it was the fifth time in a row, that a maximum was made in a UK Championship.

105 centuries were made during the tournament, breaking last year's record of 104, which included 10 from both Selby and O'Sullivan.

Mark Selby claimed his second UK title by beating Ronnie O'Sullivan 10–7 in the final.[6] This was Selby's 10th ranking title. This also made him the sixth player to have completed the Triple Crown twice.[7]
