Warner Bros. Discovery secures exclusive long-term rights to the World Snooker Tour in Europe
Eurosport and HBO Max will broadcast the World Snooker Tour – including the Triple Crown – in 50 European markets to millions of viewers
New deal brings Eurosport back to being the home of snooker for nearly three decades
World Snooker Tour matches will continue to be available across Europe on Eurosport and HBO Max after Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) extended its exclusive rights to the World Snooker Tour until at least the 2030-31 season.
The new five-year deal with the World Snooker Tour further strengthens Eurosport’s position as the home of snooker – having broadcast the sport’s biggest events for over 20 years, since 2003.
This means that the World Snooker Tour will continue to be widely available to viewers – including the prestigious Triple Crown series (the World Championship, Masters and UK Championship) as well as other flagship tournaments such as the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters, Shanghai Masters and Tour Championship. This will allow millions to enjoy the sport’s biggest events live.
Snooker is hugely popular across Europe, as evidenced by Eurosport’s pan-European coverage. In the 2024/25 season, more people watched the show than ever before, with Eurosport reaching over 88 million viewers and offering fans around fifteenhundred hours of snooker per market..
