Coronavirus: Snooker becomes the first sport to return to live TV action in Britain

It has felt like a long two months since live sport last took place in the UK but 1 June marks the return to action.

Then the global lockdown took hold meaning the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association had to ensure all tour players were safe, not stranded in any part of the world and with financial packages in place for those struggling in any way. "That is great for snooker and you might get some new people interested in the sport, but we we have been starved of sport for so long now so any kind of sporting action on TV will make people tune in."The World Snooker Tour announced on 21 May that the 64-man, non-ranking Championship League will be the first event to mark the return of snooker, taking place at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

If a player wins a match and leaves the building, he will be tested again on his return before being allowed to re-enter the venue, though no guests will be allowed to attend.
