The PDC World Darts Championship 2025 reaches its peak during the last week of the year and the first three days of January.

There have already been plenty of memorable moments, including 17-year-old Luke Littler setting the highest set average in tournament history with a remarkable 140.91 in the fourth set of his 3-1 win at the second round against Ryan Meikle.

Luke Humphries, who beat Littler in last year’s final to triumph for the first time, kicked off his campaign with a 3-0 victory over Thibault Tricole.

Here’s what the schedule looks like since action resumed on Dec. 23, plus the draw and how to watch on TV and online.
