where to watch the darts
You can watch top-level darts through a mix of official paid broadcasters, the PDC’s own streaming service, and a few free options, depending on where you live.
Main ways to watch
- PDC TV (PDCTV) – The Professional Darts Corporation’s own streaming platform carries live coverage of major PDC events and is available in most countries outside a few restricted territories.
- Sports broadcasters – In many regions, broadcasters like Sky Sports (UK & Ireland) carry the big televised PDC tournaments such as the World Championship, World Matchplay, and Premier League.
- DAZN and similar apps – In some markets (including parts of Europe, North America, and other regions), DAZN holds streaming rights for PDC darts, offering live and on‑demand coverage of tournaments.
If you’re outside the UK/Ireland
- Fans in the USA and many “rest of world” regions can subscribe directly to PDCTV and watch every PDC tournament, including Premier League nights, by choosing the Rest of World package.
- Where PDCTV is geo‑blocked or has limited rights, DAZN or regional sports networks may carry the same events; DAZN also typically offers replays and pause/rewind features.
Free and community options
- Highlights and clips – Official PDC channels and broadcasters upload match highlights and magazine-style shows to platforms like YouTube after events, giving you free recaps and key legs.
- Live community streams – Some darts content and casual matches are streamed on platforms like Twitch under the darts category, where you can watch practice games, exhibitions, and fan events.
Staying up to date
- Check the “Darts on TV” or broadcast section on the official PDC site, which lists which network or service has rights in each territory for current tournaments.
- Sports news hubs such as the darts section on Sky Sports keep schedules, results, and broadcast notes updated around major events like the World Championship and Premier League.
Quick pointer
If you just want a fast answer and you’re not in the UK/Ireland/Germany/Austria/Switzerland, start by looking at PDCTV; if that is limited in your country, search locally for darts coverage on DAZN or your region’s main sports channel.
