International Championship snooker on TV 2025: Channel, schedule and live stream
Your complete guide to how to watch the International Championship 2025 on TV and live stream, including full broadcast details.
World class snooker stars jet across to China for the final time in 2025 as they seek to wrestle the International Championship away from last year’s popular homegrown champion.
Last year’s tournament marked Ding Junhui’s only ranking tournament win since 2019 – and the 15th in his career overall. He will be keen to rediscover his touch in Nanjing this week.
A varied range of players have hoisted trophies in a hotly-contested 2025/26 season, with seven different winners in the last seven tournaments prior to this one.
World No. 1 Judd Trump and one-year leader Neil Robertson are in action, though in-form Mark Williams misses out through illness.
