The World Snooker Tour (WST) is thrilled to once again welcome Machineseeker.com, Europe’s leading online marketplace for used machinery, as the lead partner of the historic German Masters world ranking event. 

The 2026 Machineseeker German Masters will take place from January 26 to February 1, 2026, at the spectacular Tempodrom in Berlin, one of snooker’s most iconic international venues. The tournament will once again attract 64 of the world’s top snooker players and thousands of passionate fans.

Machineseeker, together with the Group’s brands Maschinensucher, TruckScout24, Werktuigen, Gebrauchtmaschinen.de and Used-Machines.com make up Europe’s number one platform for immediately available machinery, used commercial vehicles, B2B auctions and recreational vehicles, attracting over fifteen million buyers every month.

First staged in 2011, the German Masters Snooker tournament has become one of the sport’s most prestigious ranking events. In 2025, with Machineseeker as lead partner for the first time, Kyren Wilson triumphed over Barry Hawkins in a dramatic 10-9 final. Other all-time greats to have lifted the trophy in recent years include Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump, Mark Selby, Mark Williams, Ding Junhui and Zhao Xintong.

The event will be broadcast worldwide by leading networks including TNT Sports, Eurosport and WST Play, reaching millions of viewers across Europe and beyond.

WST Chief Commercial Officer Peter Wright said: “We are very pleased to renew this partnership with Machineseeker as last season’s German Masters was a great success which reached a huge audience. It’s a perfect fit because snooker is massively popular throughout central Europe and this matches Machineseeker’s customer base. Everyone connected with snooker loves the Tempodrom in the heart of Berlin and the extraordinary atmosphere when it is packed with 2,500 fans. Our sport is constantly reaching new heights in terms of the standard on the table and our worldwide fan base so it’s no surprise that Machineseeker want to be part of that journey.”

Sven Schmidt, Co-CEO of the Machineseeker Group, adds: “By extending our partnership with the WST, we reaffirm our strong commitment to snooker. The Machineseeker German Masters is a world-class event with international appeal and provides the perfect platform to position our brands with even greater visibility and relevance. Snooker combines precision, strategy, and high standards – values that perfectly reflect our company philosophy. To be partner of one of the sport’s most prestigious tournaments is both an honor as well as a strategic investment into the future, delivering true value to our customers at the highest level.”
