How to watch German Masters snooker 2025: Live stream, TV channel, full schedule and prize money

The run-in to the World Snooker Championships is well underway, and a packed roster of stars are preparing to battle it out for the German Masters.

Shaun Murphy caused a shock by lifting the Masters at Alexandra Palace, defeating world champ Kyren Wilson in a final where the outcome didn't ever look in any doubt with the Magician back to his very best. Murphy's win moved him up to second in this year's prizemoney list and he'll be determined to build on his scintillating form in Germany.

However to do that he'll have to defeat some of the very best the world has to offer; number one seed Judd Trump suffered semi-final disappointment at the Masters, and will be keen to put that behind him and edge closer to the £2m in prizemoney mark. Neil Robertson made the most of his last minute Masters call-up after Ronnie O'Sullivan pulled out, defeating Scotland's John Higgins - and bother players are back on the entry list for Germany once again. O'Sullivan meanwhile continues to be absent, and is joined in not competing by Chinese star Ding Junhui.

The German Masters gets underway on Monday January 27. Afternoon sessions will begin at 2pm UK time with the evening sessions underway at 7pm. Day two will see an additional morning session, which will begin at 9am GMT.

All the action will be live on Eurosport throughout the event, with the opening day getting underway from 2pm on Eurosport 1.

The tournament isn't quite as lucrative as the Masters, but still offers a prizepot of more than half a million pounds for players to compete for.
