Snooker and pool live streams

How to watch a snooker live stream

Open the billiards and snooker page, choose a match or session and pick one of the listed sources to start watching in your browser. Snooker tournaments often run on several tables at once in the early rounds, so check that the source shows the match you want and switch if not. Each source is an independent third-party stream, with its own picture quality and commentary. There is no account, subscription or app required, and it works on any device.

Snooker majors and pool events

The World Snooker Championship at the Crucible in Sheffield runs for 17 days from mid-April to early May and is the sport’s biggest event. The UK Championship and the Masters complete the Triple Crown, alongside other big events such as the Champion of Champions and the Tour Championship. In pool, the Mosconi Cup, the World Pool Championship and the US Open Pool Championship are the highlights. Rerace lists them all whenever third-party providers stream them.

Session times and viewing tips

Snooker matches can run long, and a single match at the World Championship may be played over several sessions across two or three days. Rerace shows session start times in your local time zone with a countdown, but treat later matches as approximate because they depend on earlier ones finishing. Events in China and the Middle East usually take place in the morning or afternoon for UK viewers, while most British events run into the evening.

Snooker rewards a sharp picture, so use Wi-Fi or a wired connection and choose the highest-quality source available. If a stream buffers, try another source before refreshing the page, and close other tabs to free up bandwidth. On phones and tablets, landscape mode and full screen make it much easier to follow the balls, and smart-TV browsers are ideal for a long afternoon session at the Crucible.
