TNT Sports has signed a new deal with the World Snooker Tour for continued coverage until at least the 2030-31 season in the UK and Ireland.
The agreement, which comprises linear coverage on TNT and live streaming on HBO Max, includes the ‘Triple Crown’ – the World Championship, the Masters and the UK Championship – and every frame of 13 other tournaments across Europe.
“Snooker has been a key part of our live multi-sport portfolio for many years,” said Trojan Paillot, SVP of rights at WBD Sports Europe. “Extending our long-term partnership with the World Snooker Tour reinforces our commitment to providing fans with the most complete live snooker offer available through one subscription. From the first frame of the season to the deciding pot at the Crucible, we’re excited to cover more tournaments, more players and more stories throughout the season.
“With the launch of HBO Max in the UK completing our rollout across Europe, coupled with our rights covering every market across the continent, we have a unified approach to supporting the growth of the sport internationally while telling local stories.
“We know fans are already enjoying the viewing experience on HBO Max together with TNT Sports’ comprehensive coverage and we know this approach will support the growth of the game in the UK and internationally.”
The tournaments covered by the new agreement are:
- Shanghai Masters
- China Open
- Wuhan Open
- English Open
- Shenzhen Open
- Northern Ireland Open
- International Championship
- UK Championship

The news comes after TNT owner Warner Bros. Discovery’s recent conclusion of a deal with the WST in 50 other countries across Europe.
