Cue Sports Premier League Season Two Welcomes Global Stars to Bengaluru
Bengaluru is all set to witness a fresh wave of excitement as the Cue Sports Premier League (CSPL) returns for its second season on October 2 at the historic Bowring Institute. This time, the league is stepping onto a bigger stage, with the much-anticipated inclusion of international players, making it one of the most thrilling cue sports events in India.
For cue sports fans, it’s more than just another tournament—it’s a celebration of talent, innovation, and passion that brings together some of the finest names from across the globe.
Big Names, Bigger Dreams
Legends of the game are gearing up to showcase their skills in Bengaluru. Among the international stars, England’s Stephen Lee, Thailand’s James Wattana, and veteran Rory McLeod will add glamour and experience to the competition. Alongside them, India’s own Pankaj Advani, a multiple-time world champion and the face of cue sports in the country, will take the spotlight, ensuring Indian fans have plenty to cheer for.
Advani, speaking at the league’s launch event, expressed his excitement about the innovations planned for this season. “The timed format encourages quicker shots and faster frames. The foul and miss rule has also been discarded, which makes the contest even more spectator-friendly,” he said with enthusiasm. His words reflect the CSPL’s commitment to making cue sports more engaging and entertaining for viewers.
Eight Teams, One Passion
Season two of the CSPL, backed by Embassy Group as the title sponsor and Snooker Alley as co-sponsor, will feature eight competitive teams. Each team will be a unique blend of talent, comprising three marquee players—one international star and two renowned Indian professionals—along with two state-level talents and four club-level players.
This mix not only ensures high-quality competition but also provides a platform for emerging Indian players to share the stage with legends of the sport. The presence of international icons such as Lee, famous for his fluid “Rolls Royce” cue action, and Wattana, who once ranked world number three, adds unmatched prestige to the league.
A True Celebration of Cue Sports
The league is not just about competition—it’s about redefining how cue sports are perceived in India. With seasoned Indian players like Aditya Mehta and Sourav Kothari also joining the roster, the CSPL brings together a perfect balance of experience and emerging energy. The innovations in rules and match format are designed to captivate both seasoned fans and newcomers who are just beginning to explore the thrill of cue sports.
And for those who can’t make it to the Bowring Institute, the good news is that every moment will be streamed live on the Club Liv app, making the CSPL accessible to fans across the country and beyond.
Looking Ahead
Season two of the Cue Sports Premier League is more than a sporting event—it’s a movement to elevate cue sports in India to international heights. With the combination of global icons, homegrown stars, and a format that promises high-paced excitement, CSPL 2025 is ready to create memories that fans will cherish.
As Bengaluru prepares to host this unique blend of tradition and innovation, the stage is set for cue sports to shine brighter than ever.
