The 2025 Masters snooker live stream will see a fresh champion crowned in London, after the reigning Ronnie O'Sullivan withdrew before it started. We're down to the final two, with Kyren Wilson set to take on Shaun Murphy today.

Wilson has been superb throughout and made a semi-final against record-breaking Judd Trump look relatively comfortable. It's seven years since he last made the Masters final, but his game has gone from strength to strength since, culminating in last year's World Championship glory.

You have to go back two decades to get to Murphy's first and only world title. But, at 42-years-old, he looks in his finest form. That was demonstrated with aplomb in his 6-3 win over Mark Allen yesterday, which included a superb 147 break. Can he take an unlikely Paul Hunter Trophy exactly 10 years after his first?

Here's how to watch a free Masters snooker 2025 live stream wherever you are. We've also listed the Masters semi-final schedule further down the page.
