Get ready for some titanic tungsten tussles as 96 of the world’s best darts players compete across 19 epic days at London's Alexandra Palace. Last year's winner Luke Humphries is back but faces some tough challengers, not least the 2024 runner-up Luke Littler, who does not turn 18 until a fortnight after the final.
Three-time winner Michael van Gerwen will be looking to go all the way for the first time since 2019, while the experienced Gary Anderson is seeking his third triumph at this tournament. Elsewhere, keep an eye on Wessel Nijma and Mike De Decker of the Netherlands and Belgium respectively, while 2023 champion Michael Smith can never be written off.
The competition starts on Sunday with a player from the Pro Tour Order of Merit taking on a qualifier in each first-round match. The winner of that tie will then face a player from the top 32 in the second round.
With so much talent on display don’t be surprised to see heavy scoring, monster checkouts and maybe even a nine-darter. Here's where to watch PDC World Darts Championship 2025 live streams online from anywhere.
