How to watch World Snooker Championship 2023: Live stream, TV coverage details with Ronnie O'Sullivan in action

This week sees the greatest of the Triple Crown events kick off as the action in the main draw gets underway for the 2023 World Snooker Championship in Sheffield. The world-famous event will, as ever, take place at the legendary Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, Yorkshire for the 47th consecutive season. Ronnie O'Sullivan is the defending champion, having beaten Judd Trump in what was a 18-13 win for The Rocket in the 2022 final, and he returns to defend his crown in what has been a so far underwhelming campaign for the snooker superstar.
