Using a VPN
It is possible to access overseas coverage if you use a VPN. We’ve rounded up the best VPN deals for PC, but you won’t go far wrong if you pick NordVPN. Once you’re signed up, download the software, log in, choose which country to browse from, and access that country’s coverage online. In this case, you’ll want a VPN with a server in the UK, such as Hidden24.
Which TV channels will show snooker?
The BBC is your main source of free-to-air coverage, with coverage on BBC One, BBC Two and The Red Button. It’s also on Eurosport 1 and 2 (and in HD) if you have access to those channels via Sky, YouView or another service.
