Snooker tournament
The 1982 UK Championship (officially the 1982 Coral UK Championship) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place at the Guild Hall in Preston, England, between 20 November and 4 December 1982. This was the sixth edition of the UK Championship and the fifth staging of the competition in Preston. The event was sponsored by Coral for the fifth year in a row. The televised stages were shown on the BBC from 27 November through to the end of the championship.
Terry Griffiths won his first and only UK title by winning the last three frames of the final to defeat Alex Higgins 16–15. On his way to victory, Griffiths also beat defending champion Steve Davis, who had defeated him in the previous year's final. The highest break of the tournament was a 137 made by Higgins.
