I have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to stream snooker tournaments in the U.S. I am willing to pay for this service. Every time I head down a path, it says they don't stream to the U.S. ie, Discovery+

How do you get to watch tournaments? What service do you use? I am well aware of what is available on YouTube. Thank you for any advice or direction to pursue.

This was just announced. It is said to be for fans worldwide and will replace the stuff below. It also says it will carry all snooker events except those available for free on YouTube.

In the past, there have been several ways to watch :

The various channels on YouTube if in use.

DAZN subscription -- this company has been very difficult to deal with for many people.

matchroom.live -- this tended to carry less important events.

Getting a VPN service which allows you to appear to be in a different country. You still may have had to pay a subscription.

Any of the several sketchy, pirate channels -- be careful what they do to your computer. Sometimes you can find sites rebroadcasting on YouTube which is relatively safe but still illegal.
 
To add to Bob's comments, I've written up how to use a proxy to place your IP in a different country, similar to using a VPN.

Help us Scaramouche you are our only hope.

I agree with posters on the other threads that the recent demise of some shady streaming sites is bad for the growth of snooker, but in fairness I do not blame the BBC. I suspect the NFL was the driving force here as if they don't make enough...

But as you cannot pay for a BBC license in the USA, you'd also be sailing the high seas, but it lets you watch BBC iPlayer, including red button matches.
For ITV and Eurosport there are a few indeed sketchy channels, that I think run a bitcoin miner in the background while you watch, so yeah you're paying for it one way or another. That's a matter of typing in the right keywords into google and scrolling to page 10... But very findable, just make sure you got a good ad blocker and virus scanner!
 
Right now for the Championship League, there are two YouTube channels



One of these is the Matchroom MultiSport channel and one of them is the Matchroom Pool (!) channel.
 
Doesn't look like bmrsceamr has been around to see the responses, so he's missing out on some quality snooker in the champions league! Too bad Ronnie dropped out, but I think he's got cue problems again.
