SPORTS fans will be able to tuck into a smorgasbord of free telly over the next two weeks.
That includes a brand new tournament that will debut in a matter of days.
Pluto TV is a free telly service that lets you watch shows, movies and channels without paying a penny.
It’s available on millions of devices, including phones, tablets, TVs and web browsers.
And earlier this year, the TV service launched a dedicated Snooker 900 channel totally for free.
Now Pluto TV has revealed plans for two weeks of “unmissable” snooker action.

That begins right now with Pros Week, which you’ll be able to see airing today.
“The excitement begins with Pros Week, as snooker icon Jimmy ‘Whirlwind’ White returns to the Pluto Arena alongside a stellar cast of champions,” Pluto TV said.
“1997 World Champion Ken Doherty, 2015 World Champion Stuart Bingham, 2023 Welsh Open Champion Robert Milkins, and 12-time World Champion Reanne Evans, the most decorated women’s player in snooker history.
“These five legends will battle for the weekly crown across three action-packed days.”
And on Wednesday, November 19, Pluto TV will be airing its first-ever Juniors Night.
This will see eight of the best young players battling it out for a £1,000 prize.
And snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan will be “watching closely” to spot “the next big star who could follow in his footsteps”.
Then next week, on November 24 and 25, Snooker 900 will be airing the first-ever Crucible Cup, a brand new tournament.
“World Professional Champions—Stephen Hendry, Neil Robertson, John Higgins, Mark Williams, and Mark Selby—will face off against elite international stars Xiao Guodong, Barry Hawkins and Gary Wilson in a revolutionary knockout format,” Pluto said.
“With a prize fund exceeding £70,000 and a £5,000 bonus for a maximum 147 break, the Crucible Cup sets a new benchmark for professional 900 snooker.”
The quarter-finals will be taking place on Monday, November 24.
And then the semi-finals and best-of-13 final will air on Tuesday.
You’ll also be able to attend the live Crucible Cup event for free in Reading if you’re in the UK.
Pluto’s snooker channel is built around Snooker 900.
It’s a specific version of snooker that uses a “fast-paced, 15-minute format” that Pluto says works great for modern streaming.
“Created by Jason Francis in 2022, Snooker 900 features a 20-second shot clock, ball-in-hand for fouls, and a sudden-death blue-ball shootout for ties, delivering pure drama in every match,” Pluto said.
Pluto’s Snooker 900 channel will show 18 hours of live snooker each week.
You’ll be able to see it from Monday to Wednesday between 2pm to 5pm and 7pm to 10pm UK time.
