BBC’s Masters Snooker plans on 50th anniversary

The BBC will be showing every ball from the 2025 Masters Snooker event this month.

Live coverage will be available on BBC Two, iPlayer and, for the first time, live coverage of the evening sessions will be aired on BBC Four.

BBC Sport stated that matches will be shown in full, “from the opening round to the final.” There will also be Snooker: The Masters Extra which will broadcast every night on BBC Two and the iPlayer.

The Triple Crown event marks its 50th anniversary this year and features the top 16 players in the world. It’s sponsored by Yorkshire-baed Johnstone’s Paint.

“Packed with drama, world-class talent, and five decades of unforgettable moments, this 50th year of the iconic Masters is unmissable,” said Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of MediaCity-based BBC Sport.

“With our lineup of snooker legends providing coverage on TV, iPlayer Radio, BBC Sounds and online, bringing fans together with every moment of the action.”

BBC Radio 5 Live will have updates from Jamie Broughton throughout the tournament, with the BBC Sport website and app having daily live updates and reports from Ally Pally plus a full live text service of the final.

The BBC’s commentary and presenting team includes Hazel Irvine and Seema Jaswal, with reports from Shabnam Younus-Jewell and insights from snooker legends Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, John Parrott, Ken Doherty, and Dennis Taylor.

The event takes place at Alexandra Palace from Sunday.
