World champion Mark Selby will defend his European Masters crown LIVE on Eurosport in February with the event set to take place in Germany.
The Stadthalle in Fürth – home of the Paul Hunter Classic in Bavaria between 2010 and 2019 – will host the sport's top players between 22-27 February with all matches in Fürth up to the quarter-finals played over the best of nine frames, semi-finals over the best of 11 frames and the best-of-17 frame final.
Selby edged out former German Masters winner Martin Gould 9-8 to win last year's event, staged behind closed doors at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes due to the pandemic.
The European Masters is part of the eight-event BetVictor European Series with the series winner receiving a £150,000 bonus.
