Watch PDC World Darts Championship Anywhere

The William Hill World Darts Championship will be broadcast in full on the dedicated Sky Sports Darts channel, which will be on air from December 14 to January 3.

Sky Sports will celebrate the 25th PDC World Darts Championship with a dedicated darts channel and brand new programming. Unfortunately this UK exclusive is not available outside the UK. Unless you partner with Liberty Shield to unlock this and so much more restricted content.

From December 14, Sky Sports Arena will become Sky Sports Darts HD, (channel 408) showcasing 21 days of non-stop darts programming which will be headlined by live coverage of the William Hill World Darts Championship from Alexandra Palace.

With the tournament being Phil Taylor’s final event before retirement, Sky Sports Darts will also screen a specially-made hour-long exclusive documentary “Phil Taylor – The Greatest” as the 16-time World Champion tells his inspiring life story.

New programming also includes an exclusive interview with Mensur Suljovic, as he looks back over his extraordinary life story, from leaving war-torn Serbia to taking up the sport in Austria and his rise to fifth in the world.

Sky Sports first broadcast the PDC World Darts Championship in 1993-1994, and have led the way in their coverage of the sport for almost 25 years since.
