Our BIG World Championship Preview 2025!

Season 1, Ep. 57

Welcome back to the Snooker Loopy Podcast! In this bumper episode, we're previewing the biggest tournament of the year — the 2025 World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.


We go match-by-match through every first round fixture, sharing our predictions and thoughts on potential upsets, dark horses, and who’s looking sharp heading into the tournament. We also reveal our pick to win the entire championship — will it be a legend, a rising star, or a surprise name?


As always, we’re keeping things fun and loopy with some of your favourite segments:


🎵 Cue the Music – This week features a fan-submitted musical masterpiece that sets the tone for Crucible season in style.

🕵️‍♂️ Cue the Laughter – We finally reveal the answers to last week’s wildly popular segment "Whose Hair?", where we guessed snooker stars based only on their legendary locks.


Whether you’re a hardcore snooker fan or a newcomer to the game, this episode is packed with insight, laughs, and plenty of Crucible excitement.


👇 Drop your own predictions in the comments and let us know how wrong (or right!) we are.
