Are you looking to add something fun to your winter / Christmas 2025 break itinerary? Then there's nothing like watching live darts in a festive and lively environment during the World Darts Championship 2025 at Alexandra Palace.
For the first time in the competition, there will be 128 players taking part, which is an increase from last season's 96 participants. The increase will give players from the PDC global and secondary tours a chance to vie for the most famous trophies in the sport.
Last year's winner, Luke Littler, will be looking to successfully defend his title on home soil and win his fifth title of the season. Dubbed 'The Nuke', Littler went on to win the World Matchplay in July, while his other titles in 2025 include the UK Open, the Australian Darts Masters and the New Zealand Darts Masters.
Meanwhile, Beau Greaves has confirmed she will play in the World Darts Championship and take her place on the professional tour. The 21-year-old from Doncaster beat reigning world champion Luke Littler to become the first woman to reach the final of the World Youth Championship. Nicknamed 'Beau 'n' Arrow', she is a three-time WDF women's world champion.
