Darts is one of the original and most loved pub games that has stood the test of time and become a recognised and respected global competitive sport. Every year the festive period brings with it the ultimate event of the Darts world, as London’s iconic Alexandra Palace plays host to the PDC World Championships.
Big names from all over the globe come to participate, including defending champion Michael Van Gerwen. However, the star of the show this year is Britain’s very own Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor, who has dominated the competition since it began with an impressive 16 wins from 28 consecutive appearances. This year’s tournament will be Taylor’s last before his retirement from the sport.
Continuing their 25 year partnership, all the action will be shown live across various Sky Sports channels with the inclusion of dedicated channel Sky Sports Darts. Below is a list of all sessions and coverage.
