How to Watch Pro Pool: Streams, TV Channels and Live Scores
Pro pool has never been easier to watch. The biggest 9-Ball events are now on ESPN in the US, and almost every match of the World Nineball Tour streams online. Here is where to find it and how to get the most out of watching.
WNT TV (the World Nineball Tour)
The World Nineball Tour, run by Matchroom, puts on most of the big pro events: the US Open, the Mosconi Cup, the Reyes Cup, the World Pool Championship and other "Majors." Its own streaming service, WNT TV, shows the most tables and is the one place to see everything. It's a paid subscription.
ESPN+ and ESPN2
In the US, ESPN now carries the US Open Pool Championship. In 2026 the main table streamed on ESPN+ all week, and the final aired live on ESPN2. Other pro events have also streamed on ESPN+ in the US, so check its schedule.
Free streams on YouTube
At some events, one or two tables stream free on YouTube. At the 2026 US Open, Table Four was on the Matchroom Pool and talkSPORT YouTube channels. Many regional tours and big amateur events also stream free on YouTube and Facebook. Search the event name plus "live stream."
Outside the US
Big events are carried by local TV partners: talkSPORT in the UK, Fox Sports in Australia, One Sports in the Philippines and others. WNT TV covers most other countries.
Live scores and brackets
If you can't watch, follow the bracket. The World Nineball Tour runs live scoring for its events at wntlivescores.com, with every match and draw update.
How to learn from watching
- Watch the cue ball, not the object ball. Notice where the pro sends it after each shot and how little it travels.
- Count their routine. Most pros take the same number of practice strokes every shot. See our pre-shot routine guide.
- Study the safeties. Pros play a safety when the run-out isn't there. Our safety play guide explains the main kinds.
- Watch the break. Notice where they place the cue ball and how hard they hit. Then try it with our break guide.
