The 2024 World Snooker Championship is in full swing at the iconic Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, with top-class sporting action captivating fans around the world. The tournament has already seen some thrilling matches and surprising results, setting the stage for an exciting finish as the latest champion will be crowned on Monday 6 May.

All eyes are on Ronnie O’Sullivan, who is on the verge of making history by claiming a record eighth world title at the Crucible. The 48-year-old snooker legend has had a phenomenal season, winning the UK Championship and Masters already. A victory in Sheffield would not only give him eight titles from each of snooker’s biggest three events but also see him join an elite group of players who have won the three triple crown events in a single season.

However, O’Sullivan faces tough competition from talented challengers like Judd Trump and Kyren Wilson, who are both in top form and hungry for success. Trump, the player of the season with five ranking titles under his belt, is determined to add a second World Championship to his impressive resume.

The World Snooker Championship is being broadcast live on the BBC, with every match available to watch on BBC Two, BBC Four, the BBC red button, BBC iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website. The tournament is also being shown on Eurosport in the UK, with subscribers able to stream the matches online via the Discovery+ app.

With a total prize fund of £2,395,000 up for grabs, the stakes are high for the players competing in the championship. The winner will walk away with £500,000, making it the richest prize in snooker.

As the tournament progresses towards the final stages, fans can expect more thrilling matches and intense competition as the world’s best snooker players battle it out for the prestigious title. Stay tuned for all the latest updates and results from the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.
