Championship League snooker Winners’ Group 2025: Schedule, results, TV channel, how to live stream FREE

SNOOKER'S top stars have returned from Germany and head straight into the Championship League Winners' Group.

The non-ranking tournament is continuing this week after a thrilling week of action in Berlin, where Kyren Wilson beat Barry Hawkins in a final-frame decider.

Wilson is among those back in action in Leicester, where he is joined by fellow former world champions Judd Trump and Mark Selby in a tricky snooker group stage ahead of a final four on Wednesday evening.

Here's everything you need to know for the tournament.

When is the Championship League snooker 2025?

The Championship League groups took place from January 2 to January 25.

There are seven groups then a Winners' Group - more on the format below.

The dates are as follows:

• January 3-4 - Group 1
• January 6-11 - Groups 2, 3 and 4
• January 20-25 - Groups 5, 6 and 7.
• February 4-5 - Winners' Group and play-offs

Who is playing in the Championship League snooker 2025 and what is the format?

All the big hitters were slated to play, although Ronnie O'Sullivan withdrew from the non-ranking event in early January.

• Group 1 (Jan 3-4) - Chris Wakelin, Gary Wilson, Jak Jones, Hossein Vafaie, Pang Junxu, Ryan Day, Elliot Slessor
• Group 2 (Jan 6-7) - Ali Carter, Si Jiahui, Robert Milkins
• Group 3 (Jan 8-9) - Ronnie O'Sullivan, Kyren Wilson, Mark Selby
• Group 4 (Jan 10-11) - Barry Hawkins, Stuart Bingham, Jackson Page
• Group 5 (Jan 20-21) - Judd Trump, Tom Ford, Neil Robertson
• Group 6 (Jan 22-23) - David Gilbert, Jack Lisowski, Noppon Saengkham
• Group 7 (Jan 24-25) - Xiao Guodong, Zhou Yuelong, Matthew Selt
• WINNERS' GROUP (Feb 4-5) - Hossein Vafaei, Si Jiahui, Kyren Wilson, Mark Selby, Matthew Selt, Judd Trump, Xiao Guodong

The Championship league is a round robin of eight groups of seven players.

The top four from each group qualify for a play-off with the overall winner going straight into the Winners' Group.

The bottom two are eliminated totally from the competition, while the other four move into the next group, where they are joined by three more players.

This format continues through all seven groups until the Winners' Group is filled.

The players are ranked by matches won, then most frames won, then least frames lost - if two players are tied, the player who won the head-to-head match finishes higher.

The play-off semi-finals are played between 1st and 4th and 2nd and 3rd, with the two winners meeting and then playing for a place in the Winners' Group.

The overall winner secures a place in the 2025 Champion of Champions and earns a modest amount of prize money.

What TV channel is the Championship League 2025 on and can it be live streamed?

There will be no TV coverage in the UK but fans can stream all the action live on Matchroom Sport's YouTube.

Table one will be on Matchroom Multi Sport and table two is on the Matchroom Pool channel.

Both of those are free to stream.

Alternatively, SunSport will blog the entire Winners' Group and play-offs over the next couple of days.

Trump vs Wilson

SNOOKER's Class of '92 are fading away - with two English superstars ready to forge a new era.

Judd Trump has declared he's ready to battle reigning world champion Kyren Wilson for "the next 10 years" or more.

Current world No 1 Trump admitted Wilson's meteoric rise over the last twelve months has "pushed him forward" as a player.

The Class of '92 refers to the legendary trio of Ronnie O'Sullivan, John Higgins, and Mark Williamson.

With 14 world titles among them, the three players have dominated UK snooker over the past three decades.

But as their powers begin to fade, Wilson and Trump appear ready to fill the rivalry vacuum.
