The 48-year-old from Scotland is accused of engaging in lewd and libidinous conduct towards two children over a 17-year period between 1993 and 2010.
The charges involve alleged incidents at multiple addresses in Glasgow's east end, in South Lanarkshire, and in a vehicle.
Prosecutors allege that one complainant, a girl, was subjected to inappropriate touching, told to remove her clothing and exposed to indecent behaviour. It is further alleged that a boy was molested, made the subject of sexual remarks and observed while showering.
Dott, who lifted the World Championship title in 2006, has entered a plea of not guilty.
The case was heard at the High Court in Glasgow, where the court was told the accused was excused from attending the procedural hearing.
His solicitor, Euan Dow, said there was currently one defence witness listed, though others could be called. Mr Dow indicated that preparations for trial were not yet complete but requested a date be set.
Lord Mulholland confirmed the trial is scheduled to begin on August 17th, 2026 and is expected to last five days.
Dott remains on bail pending proceedings.
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association suspended him from competition earlier this year following the announcement of the charges.
