The World Snooker Championship was streamed a record-breaking 29 million times across BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and the BBC Sport app, a 25% increase from the previous year.

The action from the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield was watched by a further 12.6 million people on TV across BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Four. There was a peak of three million on BBC Two during the final.

Zhao Xintong completed a 18-12 win over Mark Williams on Monday to become the first player from China to lift the trophy.

“This year’s World Championship has been gripping, with a phenomenal response from fans,” said director of BBC Sport, Alex Kay-Jelski.

“The matches have had drama, legends clashing, and rising stars showcasing the brilliance of the sport’s next generation of players.”
