The 2025 PDC World Darts Championship peaks during the last week of the year and the first three days of January.
There have already been many memorable moments, including 17-year-old Luke Littler setting the highest set average in tournament history with an incredible 140.91 in the fourth set of his 3-1 win over Ryan Meikle in the second round.
Luke Humphries, who beat Littler in last year’s final to win for the first time, started his campaign with a 3-0 win over Thibault Tricole.
Here’s what the schedule looks like from the resumption of action on December 23, as well as the draw and how to follow it on television and the Internet.
What an atmosphere. What a walk! 😍
