World Snooker Championship 2025 TV coverage on BBC, TNT Sports and discovery+
Your complete guide to how to watch the World Snooker Championship 2025 on TV and live stream, including full broadcast details.
The final showdown of the World Snooker Championship 2025 is upon us.
Zhao Xintong and Mark Williams will once again battle it out to claim the accolade – and it could be history-making for both of them.
If Xintong, who is leading Williams 11-6, and saw off Ronnie O'Sullivan in the semi-finals, comes out on top, he will be the first Chinese player to win the title.
But if Williams manages to turn things around – and it's certainly not entirely out of the question given his victory over world no.1 Judd Trump, he would be the oldest player to win the World Snooker Championship at age 50.
Like O'Sullivan and Trump, a number of big names including Kyren Wilson, Neil Robertson and Mark Selby were all dispatched in the early rounds, leaving just two.
But who will claim victory?
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details on how to watch the World Snooker Championship 2025, including a full broadcast schedule.
