The 2025 Paddy Power World Darts Championship is taking place between Sunday 15 December 2024 and Friday 3 January 2025.

Held at Alexandra Palace, London, 96 of the world’s top darts players fight it out for the right to be crowned the World Darts Champion.

The draw has been made and as expected and the schedule for the opening two rounds has been announced. As expected, defending champion Luke Humphries will headline the opening night. He’ll play the winner of the first game, which is Thibault Tricole v Joe Comito.

Last year’s beaten finalist Luke Littler begins his campaign for his first Sid Waddell Trophy on Saturday 21 December. Three time winner Michael van Gerwen, who last won this event in 2019, starts his quest for a fourth World Darts Championship title 24 hours earlier, on Friday 20 December.

Here’s a look at all the results and schedule of play for the 2025 Paddy Power World Darts Championship. The schedule for the fourth round onwards will be confirmed in due course.
