The 2025 PDC World Darts Championship culminates during the final week of the year and the first three days of January.
17-year-old Luke Littler has already created many memorable moments with a remarkable 140.91 in the fourth set of a 3-1 second-round win over Ryan Meikle, setting the highest set average in tournament history.
Luke Humphries, who beat Littler in last year’s final for the first time, opened his campaign with a 3-0 win over Thibault Tricole.
Here’s what the schedule looks like when action resumes on December 23, as well as the draw and how to watch on TV and online.
What an atmosphere. What a walk! 😍
