China Open live streaming
The China Open returns to the snooker calendar in 2026, and a live stream is available for all matches online.
A mainstay on the WST calendar from 2005-2019 before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament is back at the Riverside Sports Centre in Taiyuan from August 8-16.
The world’s top 16 players were seeded straight through to the main venue, where a top prize of £250,000 is up for grabs.
They are joined by a further 16 players, who progressed after four qualifying rounds in Leicester in June.
Neil Robertson was the most recent champion seven years ago, beating Jack Lisowski 11-4 in the final for his second China Open crown.
He is joined by three-time winners Mark Selby and Mark Williams, though the latter suffered a first-round exit at the hands of Zhou Yuelong.
Another multiple champion fell at the first hurdle in Ding Junhui, with Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump the other players in the draw to have won this title more than once.
John Higgins also won this tournament in 1999 when it was entitled the China International.
Zhao Xintong and World champion Wu Yize are among the players looking to add their names to the roll of honour, along with Kyren Wilson and former finalist Shaun Murphy.
A live stream from both tables will be available on laptop, mobile and tablet devices in the UK and various other regions worldwide.
