How to watch Championship League Snooker 2023: TV channel and live stream
Your complete guide to how to watch the Championship League Snooker 2023 on TV and live stream, including full broadcast details.
Snooker is back. The World Snooker Championships feel like a distant memory and top-level stars will shake off the cobwebs for the return of Championship League Snooker.
The innovative format will see 128 players enter a three-stage round-robin tournament, with groups of four being steadily whittled down until just two players remain for a final showdown.
Reigning champion Luca Brecel has enjoyed quite the year since he lifted the trophy in 2022. The Belgian became the first mainland European player to win the world title earlier this year but he has declined to enter the Championship League Snooker draw in 2023.
Fear not, though, as the draw is still packed with massive talents including Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump, Neil Robertson and Mark Williams, along with a host of other top stars and rising forces across the game.
Fans will be delighted to see the return of elite snooker players as the new season prepares for lift-off. We'll be on hand with all the latest updates to help you soak up every moment.
