Shanghai Masters snooker 2025: How to watch, live stream, schedule as Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump & Zhao Xintong fight for prestigious invitational

The 2025 Shanghai Masters is on the horizon with the likes of world champion Zhao Xintong, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump all scheduled to take to the Luwan Gymnasium.
The tournament, first held in 2007, has become a favourite on the snooker calendar, with O’Sullivan having racked up a record five Shanghai titles. 
But The Rocket’s dominance at the invitational, which he won four times in a row, came to an end last year, when Trump beat Shaun Murphy 11-5 in the final.

Here is everything you need to know about the Shanghai Masters.
