The 2025 PDC World Darts Championship reaches a climax during the final week of the year and 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 the history of the tournament with a remarkable 140.91 in the fourth set of his 3-1 second-round win over Ryan Meikle.

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

Here’s how the schedule looks from the resumption of the action on December 23, as well as the draw and how to watch on TV and online.
