Cue Ball Talk is a worldwide board. The Channel 5 British Open guide is for the UK. This one is for Singapore and the rest of ASEAN watching the same sport on different boxes.
Times below are Singapore (SGT, UTC+8). That is seven hours ahead of UK BST. A 2pm Cheltenham session is 9pm here. A 7pm Brentwood evening is 2am — so you pick your nights.
Rights lists move. Check StarHub’s guide and wst.tv/wst-play-availability before you pay.
Do not use a UK Channel 5 / My5 login from Singapore and expect it to work. Geo-blocks are normal.
Club and league streams from anywhere sit on our Streams page.
Watching from Singapore this week? Drop the actual StarHub channel number or the YouTube link that worked so the next person does not guess.

Snooker on the box
World Snooker Tour lists StarHub as the Singapore broadcaster. If the event is on StarHub that week, that is the legal linear feed. If it is not in the guide, WST Play is the fallback for territories with no local rights.- Now – Sunday 6 September — Unibet British Open, Cheltenham. UK is free on 5. Singapore is not. StarHub if listed; otherwise WST Play.
- Monday 7 – Sunday 13 September — BetVictor English Open, Brentwood. UK is TNT Sports / HBO Max. Same rule here: StarHub or WST Play. Mark Allen and Ronnie O’Sullivan are both out.
- Friday 4 – Sunday 6 September — Taom UK Women’s Championship, Leeds. Usually free on WPBSA YouTube when they put a table up.

Pool — Yapp, then Vietnam
Aloysius Yapp is the reason a lot of Singapore stays up for nine-ball. The US Open is done (Francisco Sánchez Ruiz won). Next world title on the clock:- 19–26 September — Iwan Simonis WPA Men’s World 10-Ball, Phu Tho Indoor Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City. $300,000. Mixed doubles and Poison Saigon Women’s 9-Ball in the same hall.
- Watch: Pro Billiard TV on YouTube (free). Vietnam is one hour behind Singapore (ICT UTC+7), so a 1pm Saigon session is 2pm SGT. That is a watchable afternoon, not a 2am Brentwood shift.
- Mosconi Cup — 27–30 November, Caribe Royale, Orlando. Europe defending. Full Cue Ball Talk guide: Mosconi Cup 2026. US evenings = Singapore next-day mornings.
Singapore on the baize this month
- Peter Gilchrist has just completed a World Billiards double in Winnipeg (Vimy Ridge Classic then the PABSA Pan Am Cup). That is a Singapore story even though the venue was Canada.
- National Snooker League 2026/27 runs through 30 September via Cuesports Singapore.
- Cuesports Junior Pool Training starts 6 September at the National Training Centre, 371 Tanjong Katong Road. Registration listed open on the NSA site.
