Snooker today: What time it’s on, schedule and how to watch the German Masters
Will Kyren Wilson be able to defend his German Masters title?
The German Masters 2026 begins today, with Kyren Wilson hoping to keep up his momentum after his Triple Crown win – so make sure you know what time the snooker is on, how to watch it, and the schedule.
We are officially less than three months away from the 2026 World Snooker Championship.
Earlier this month, Wilson defied expectations (especially after bombing out of the UK Championship in the first round) and won the Masters. He beat John Higgins 10-6, marking his first win in the tournament.
So, can Wilson achieve another victory, or will he be trumped (pun intended) by his competitors? Either way, it’s set to be another tough competition, so we’ve rounded up all the details you need about watching the German Masters.
What time is the snooker on today?
Coverage from the German Masters snooker tournament begins at 2pm UK time today, January 26, with the last matches scheduled for 7pm.
Wilson is up first today, facing off against Robert Milkins at the Tempodrom in Berlin. Barry Hawkins (who lost to Wilson in last year’s final) will be looking for a win against Mark Davis.
