Watch German Masters
The German Masters is a professional Snooker ranking tournament and the great news for all fans is that you can watch all of the action live online via our Snooker live streaming partners.
The tournament started life back in 1995 as the German Open in the city of Frankfurt. The tournament then moved onto Osnabruck and then Bingen am Rhein where it first became known as the German Masters but it was a non-ranking event.
The tournament left the tour for 4 years before returning in 2011 as a ranking event, held in the German city of Berlin where the tournament has remained ever since.
As a ranking event, the German Masters attracts many of the world’s top stars and that makes it a must watch for all Snooker fans.

Snooker German Masters
The German Masters Snooker tournament is a professional Snooker tournament that is one of the most historic, prestigious, and well established Snooker tournaments to take place outside of the United Kingdom and offers one of the largest prize fund away from the heartlands of the UK and China.
Despite all of success that the tournament enjoys today, it was a rocky road in getting there and in many ways, for every bit that the event is established and historic, it is also relatively new and finding its place on the tour.
That juxtaposition is down to the fact that the event was first established way back in 1995, the tournament has gone through a lot of changes since that time and it has also been left off of the tour for long periods.
The inaugural event took place in the city of Frankfort in 1995 where John Higgins of Scotland thrashed Ken Doherty of Ireland by 9 frames to 3.
The tournament was soon on the move when the 1996 edition came from Osnabruck in an event that saw Ronnie O’Sullivan (England) pick up the title by defeating Alain Robidoux (Canada0 by 9 frames to 7.
In 1997, things were on the move once more as the action took place in the town of Bingen am Rhein and once again featured John Higgins as the winner when he defeated John Parrot (England) by 9 frames to 4.
The fact that the event had moved from a large city, in Frankfurt to small city in Osnabruck to a small town in Bingen am Rhien from one year to the next hinted at the struggles of the tournament and it was no real surprise that the 1998 edition of the event was not only change from been a ranking event to a non-ranking exhibition style event and in the end, the final which featured John Parrott defeating Mark Williams (Wales) was to prove the last running of the German Open for 13 years as the next hosting of the tournament didn’t come until the re-boot of the sport and of the tour in 2011.
When the German Masters returned to the tour it was as a ranking event once more, it was held in Berlin and perhaps best of all form a fan point of view wanting the sport to establish itself away from the UK and China, the tournament has now remained consistent on the tour.
The inaugural event in Berlin featured a final between Mark Williams and Mark Selby (England), with the Welshman winning an exciting match by 9 frames to 7.
The quality of the event since then can be seen by the players who have gone in to pick up the title since the move to Berlin and the revamping of the event with the likes of Ronnie O’Sullivan, Ali Carter (England), Ding Junhui (China), Mark Selby (England), Kyren Wilson (England) and Judd Trump (England).
Despite that quality and the no established nature of the tournament as a ranking event, it can be a difficult and frustrating experience for Snooker fans to watch the action live from the German Masters Snooker event.
Even if you are fortunate enough to have an ongoing and ever increasingly expensive subscription to a pay tv sports channel that shows Snooker, the likelihood is that only a select number of matches will be shown.
Thankfully, there is a now a way to watch all of the great action from the German Masters live and that is by using the incredible live streaming services of the online bookmakers that we feature on this page.
If you do decide to watch live via the bookie live streams of Snooker, you will need to be aged 18 or over and have a funded account but you can then watch Snooker action from the German Masters live and from most other tournaments held throughout the season at locations around the world.

History
History of the German Masters Snooker
The history of the German Masters begins in 1995, although the tournament was originally called the German Open. The first edition was staged in Frankfurt in December 1995 and was a ranking event. The tournament was introduced as part of an effort to expand professional snooker beyond its traditional British base, giving Germany a place on the professional calendar.
The inaugural German Open was won by Scotland’s John Higgins. Higgins defeated Ireland’s Ken Doherty 9-3 in the final after the match had been level at 3-3. Higgins then won six consecutive frames to secure the title. He also produced a 139 break in the final, earning the tournament’s high-break prize. His first prize was £40,000, a useful reward for a player who clearly had no intention of hanging around to admire the Berlin skyline because Berlin was not actually the destination yet.
The 1996 German Open was played at a British military base in Osnabrück. Ronnie O’Sullivan won that edition, defeating Canada’s Alain Robidoux 9-7. O’Sullivan’s victory added another major name to the tournament’s young roll of honour and demonstrated the calibre of players competing in Germany during the event’s early years.
The third ranking edition arrived in 1997 at the Atlantis Rheinhotel in Bingen. John Higgins returned to the winner’s circle, defeating John Parrott 9-4 in the final. Higgins therefore became the first player to win the German event twice.
In 1998, the competition was renamed the German Masters. However, this edition was not a ranking event. It was staged in Bingen again, with John Parrott defeating Mark Williams 6-4 in the final. Rather than continuing as a regular event on the professional calendar, the tournament then disappeared for more than a decade.
The long wait ended in 2011 when the German Masters returned as a ranking event. The revived tournament was held at the Tempodrom in Berlin from 2 to 6 February 2011. It represented the return of a professional ranking tournament to Germany after a lengthy absence and immediately gave the event a new identity in the German capital.
Mark Williams won the first modern German Masters, defeating Mark Selby 9-7 in the final. The Welshman was already an established star, and the victory gave the revived tournament an impressive first champion. John Higgins also produced the highest break of the 2011 event, a 143.
The return proved popular. Reports from the tournament’s early years recorded around 14,000 paying spectators in 2011, with attendance rising to approximately 20,000 in 2012. The tournament’s Berlin setting quickly became an important part of its appeal.
Ronnie O’Sullivan won the 2012 German Masters, beating Stephen Maguire 9-7. Ali Carter followed in 2013, defeating Marco Fu 9-6, before Ding Junhui claimed the trophy in 2014 by beating Judd Trump 9-5. Mark Selby won in 2015, defeating Shaun Murphy 9-7, while Martin Gould captured the 2016 title with a 9-5 victory over Luca Brecel.
Anthony Hamilton became champion in 2017, beating Ali Carter 9-6, before Mark Williams won his second German Masters title in 2018. Williams produced a particularly dominant final performance, defeating Graeme Dott 9-1. Kyren Wilson then won the 2019 edition, beating David Gilbert 9-7.
Judd Trump began his period of dominance in 2020. He defeated Neil Robertson 9-6 in the final to win his first German Masters title. He successfully defended the trophy in 2021, although that year’s tournament was an unusual chapter in the event’s history because pandemic restrictions forced it away from Berlin. The tournament was held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England, where Trump defeated Jack Lisowski 9-2.
The German Masters returned to Berlin in 2022, and Zhao Xintong produced one of the most emphatic finals in the tournament’s modern history. He defeated Yan Bingtao 9-0, winning every frame of the final. Ali Carter then won his second title in 2023, defeating Tom Ford 10-3.
Trump returned to the top in 2024, defeating China’s Si Jiahui 10-5 in the final. Kyren Wilson followed by winning the 2025 tournament in one of the closest finals in German Masters history, edging Barry Hawkins 10-9. That result demonstrated just how fine the margins can be when two experienced professionals reach the business end of a major ranking event.
The 2026 German Masters brought another chapter to Trump’s remarkable relationship with the tournament. He defeated Shaun Murphy 10-4 in the final at the Tempodrom, securing his fourth German Masters title. Trump had already won the event in 2020, 2021 and 2024, making him the most successful player in the tournament’s history. The 2026 edition also featured Zhang Anda’s 147 break and a total of 109 centuries across qualifying and the main event.
From its beginnings as the German Open in the 1990s, through its disappearance and eventual revival in Berlin, the German Masters Snooker has developed into an established World Snooker Tour ranking event. Its history includes multiple world champions, surprise winners, dramatic finals and some memorable break-building. Most importantly, the tournament has created a permanent place for professional snooker in Berlin, with the Tempodrom now closely associated with one of the most recognisable events on the modern snooker calendar.
