How to watch English Open snooker 2025: Live stream, TV channel, schedule and prize money image

Brentwood will be home to some of the best snooker players in the world as it is set to host the 10th edition of the English Open beginning Thursday, September 11.

Neil Robertson comes into this year's English Open as the defending champion after defeating China's Wu Yize 9-7 to claim the title.

He will once again be the favourite to win the title for a second successive year after his victory at the 2025 Saudi Arabia Masters. Furthermore, his odds will be boosted by his rival Ronnie O'Sullivan's absence from the tournament.

As one of snooker's biggest global events continues, The Sporting News has all your scheduling, TV and streaming details covered from the 2025  English Open at the Brentwood Centre.

2025 English Open TV channel, live stream

The 2025 English Open will be available to watch on live television in the UK on TNT Sports, who will provide coverage of every day's action.

TNT Sports is available on discovery+, but unlike many other broadcasters, it isn’t tied down to just one streaming platform. Instead, users can access TNT through several providers, including Amazon Prime Video, where existing customers can purchase the discovery+ add-on.

They've got full access to every single frame, as well as build-up and post-match analysis, both live and on catch-up, allowing subscribers to tune into the action via TNT Sports.

The 2025 English Open is an 11-day-long event that will begin on Thursday, September 11.

Stakes will begin to increase with the quarterfinals on Friday, September 19, followed by the semifinals on Saturday, September 20.
