The Snooker Masters Tournament begins tomorrow (2026.1.11), with Wu Yize and Xiao Guodong participating, broadcast live on CCTV-5 and Migu Video.

Matches are played in a best-of-11 frames format, with Wu Yize and Xiao Guodong competing on the first day; details are shown in the image below.

1. Tomorrow night at 9 PM, Wu Yize will play against Shaun Murphy.
2. At 3 AM the day after tomorrow, Xiao Guodong will face Mark Selby.

The live broadcast schedule for CCTV-5 and Migu Video is detailed in the image below.

1. CCTV-5 will start live coverage of the Shaun Murphy vs. Wu Yize match at 9:45 PM tomorrow night. (It might begin earlier if the CBA game finishes sooner)
2. Migu Video will provide full live coverage of the matches involving Wu Yize and Xiao Guodong.
3. My personal prediction is that the CCTV Video app might also offer free full live streaming.

Event Preview

1. The Snooker Masters is one of the three major events in snooker history, and we look forward to our national players winning matches or even the championship.
2. The Snooker Masters features the top 16 players in the world rankings, all of whom are extremely strong competitors.
3. Tomorrow night, Wu Yize will face Shaun Murphy. Wu definitely has a chance to win, but Murphy’s defensive counter-attack skills are very strong. We hope Wu shows patience in defense since his offensive skills are excellent.
4. At 3 AM the day after tomorrow, Xiao Guodong will play against Selby. Mark Selby’s defensive counter-attacking is outstanding, though his pace is somewhat slow. It will depend on how Xiao Guodong breaks through; we hope he can make progress.

Attached is the schedule for all first-round matches and their times; everyone is welcome to watch. Unfortunately, Rocket O’Sullivan has reportedly withdrawn, which is very regrettable!
