How to watch World Pool Masters 2024 — live stream, TV channels, schedule

James Aranas of the Philippines plays a shot at the World Pool Masters.

Francisco Sanchez Ruiz is the runaway leader atop the World Nineball Tour rankings, but the Spaniard is yet to make his mark at the World Pool Masters, where he's seeded No.1. Only the top eight players in the WNT rankings are seeded, which sets the bar sky-high right from the off.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch the World Pool Masters from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

With four former champions in Shane Van Boening, Ko Pin Yi, Joshua Filler and David Alcaide vying for the title at Halle39 in Hildesheim, Germany, the competition promises to be fierce. Ko, the reigning champion, is one of the lowest-ranked players in the draw, and his tournament-opening encounter with David Alcaide has the potential to be the tie of the round.

Two-time champion Van Boening has also been handed a rough assignment, against Duong Quoc Hoang, who's had joy against the American in the past, while Aloysius Yapp has the talent and form to bounce No.6 seed Jayson Shaw.

The opening round will be first to nine, the quarter-finals will be first to 10, the semis will be first to 11, and the final will be first to 13.

Here's how to watch a 2024 World Pool Masters live stream online from anywhere. We've also listed the World Pool Masters schedule at the bottom of this page.

You'll need a subscription to DAZN to watch the World Pool Masters live in the U.S..

A subscription to the service will set you back $24.99 per month, or $224.99 per year.

DAZN is available on the best streaming devices, including the leading platforms such as Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Apple tvOS, Chromecast and many major smart TVs.

And if you're out of the U.S. but still want to watch the action, don't forget to explore NordVPN, as set out below.

Watch World Pool Masters from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the pool on your usual subscription?

You can still watch the World Pool Masters live stream online thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view an Australian service, you'd select Australia from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Kayo Sports or another website and watch the 2024 World Pool Masters live stream.

Aussies will find World Pool Masters live streams on Fox Sports via Foxtel.

Don't have Foxtel and don't want to subscribe? Specialist streaming service Kayo Sports is also showing the World Pool Masters, with its affordable, commitment-free plans starting from just $25/month, and hosting plenty of cricket, AFL, rugby, F1 and loads of other live sports besides.

There's also a 7-day FREE trial for anybody who hasn't used the service before.

Not in Australia right now? You can simply use a VPN like NordVPN to watch all the action on your Kayo account as if you were back home.

Sky Sports has the rights to World Pool Masters live streams in the U.K., so if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £18/month to add those channels.

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 or month-long access for £34.99.

All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the UK, you can still follow World Pool Masters live streams by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN

Matchroom.live is the only place to watch the World Pool Masters in Canada.

A subscription starts at US$1.99 per day, going up to US$49.99 per year, but the US$5.99 monthly pass looks like the best of both worlds.
