PDC World Darts Championship 2026 Results
Paddy Power PDC World Darts Championship, Alexandra Palace, London, Dec 11 - Jan 3, 2026
PDC World Darts Championship 2026 Results. A full list of players and the results of the PDC World Darts Championships. Luke Littler took the £1,000,000 first prize, giving him back-to-back titles. Luke dominated the final against Gian van Veen, who took the opening set, but then lost seven consecutive sets. Gian didn’t produce the heights he reached in the semi-final against Gary Anderson; nevertheless, the Dutchman still played well despite the one-sided result.
Unfortunately, for Luke, nearly half of his winnings will go to the Tax Man.

PDC World Darts Championship Dec 11 - Jan 3, 2026 
You know, when Christmas is around the corner, when the PDC World Darts Championship returns to the Ally Pally, London, with the biggest prize in darts, a total of £5 Million. One hundred and twenty-eight players compete, but only one will win the Sid Waddell World Trophy and a first prize cheque for £1,000,000.
London's biggest Christmas Party lasts three weeks as fans descend from across the globe sporting their fancy dress. The sell-out event will leave many fans disappointed, as some look to register for the official PDC fan-to-fan resale market or add their details to the waiting list for any returned tickets. It again calls into question the iconic venue, Alexandra Palace, as it is clear the venue cannot accommodate the demand. With Premier League Darts playing to packed 10,000 crowds, it is undoubtedly time for a move. But would it lose the party atmosphere that has come to be associated with the event?
Fans who are registered with PDC TV also get a priority day to buy tickets before others, so next year, this may be a route some fans follow, plus they can also enjoy other darts events via the PDC TV channel.
The PDC World Darts Championship is shown live on Sky Sports, DAZN and Viaplay. Viewers with Sky who do not currently have Sky Sports can upgrade for one month by following the arrows. Contact Sky for more details.
Paddy Power will again be supporting The Prostate Charity
Paddy Power will again be supporting The Prostate Charity in various ways. A dart leg by any player at the Paddy Power PDC World Champions will see Paddy Power donate £180,000, split between the player, the prostate charity and one lucky fan at the venue. Two Nine Dart Legs were thrown at last year's event, and with more players and seeds entering round one, there is every chance this could be topped. Could you hold a lucky ticket?
In addition to this fantastic prize for the player, the charity and a fan at the Ally Pally. Paddy Power will also donate £1,000 for every 180 hit in the tournament to The Prostate Cancer Charity. With over 900 hit in last year’s event and an increased field for the 2026 Championships, we can expect this figure to be topped.
Well done, Paddy Power!
PDC World Darts Championship - Alexandra Palace update
Dart fans will be pleased to learn that the PDC World Championship will remain at the Alexandra Palace until at least 2031 under a new extended contract. However, in the 2026/2027 event, the World Championship will move to the larger Great Hall, boosting capacity to around 180,000 and increasing the total capacity by 70,000, with individual sessions of 5,000 fans. Fans will welcome this warmly as demand for tickets outstrips supply.

Paddy Power World Darts Championship 2026 - Alexandra Palace, London
PDC Paddy Power World Darts Championship 2026
Date: 11th Dec – 3rd Jan 2026
The World Dart Stage is set for another 20 days of World Darts played over 36 sessions from 11th December 2025 until, 3rd January 2026. The PDC Paddy Power World Darts Championship, live from the Alexandra Palace, London.
One hundred and twenty-eight players will compete for the Sid Waddell trophy and the first prize of £1,000,000 with a total prize fund of £5,000,000, making this event the richest darts event in the World.
The open field will likely excite neutral fans as the 2026 World Championship could see a new name on the Sid Waddell trophy. Luke Littler, the current World Champion and PDC-ranked World No.1, will line up as this year's favourite to retain his title.
The biggest prize money in any darts tournament attracts the best players in the World. However, the current women's series champion, Beau Greaves, will compete for the first time this year after declining the invitation she earned last year. Beau has also earned a two-year PDC tour card and is likely to make big strides on the PDC circuit in 2026. Beau declined her invitation to defend her WDF World Championship title and instead chose to defend her title. She is joined by three other female dart stars, Fallon Sherrock, Noa-Lynn van Leuven and Gemma Hayter in this year's event.
Under the new format, the top 32 seeds this year enter the competition in the first round. Additional details regarding the PDC World Darts Championships, the venue, and the prize fund breakdown can be found on this page.
