Snooker's three biggest events will remain on terrestrial television until the end of the 2023-24 season at least after World Snooker agreed a new deal with the BBC.

The deal means the BBC will continue its comprehensive live television coverage and online streaming of the World Championship, the UK Championship and the Masters.

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said: “So many great moments in the history of our sport are synonymous with the coverage they have received on the BBC.

"The Triple Crown tournaments have a history which can’t be replicated and bring something extra special to snooker fans and those watching on the BBC alike."
