Ninety-six of the world's best darts players are about to battle it out at Alexandra Palace in north London, in the sport's most prestigious tournament, the PDC World Darts Championship.

Last year's final saw 29-year-old Luke Humphries fend off the challenge of teenage sensation Luke Littler to claim the title for the first time.

This year's event sees 14 debutants compete alongside Humphries and Littler, with other big-name hopefuls including No. 2 seed Michael Smith and three-time winner Michael van Gerwen. They're all looking to claim the Sid Waddell Trophy as well as the £500,000 ($630,000) top prize, with 28 countries represented in total.

The tournament runs from from Sunday, Dec. 15, to Friday, Jan. 3. You can check out a full tournament schedule at the foot of this page.

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the match as it happens, wherever you are in the world.

Current World No. 1 and reigning PDC World Champion Luke Humphries will be hoping to defend his title.

Darts fans in the US can watch all the action from Alexandra Palace on streaming service DAZN.

DAZN/CNET

A DAZN subscription currently costs $30 a month if you only want to sign up for 30 days. If you're willing to sign up for a year, that price comes down to $20 a month.

As well as dedicated apps for iOS and Android, there's a wide range of support for set-top boxes and smart TVs.

How to watch the PDC World Darts Championship 2025 season from anywhere with a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view PDC World Darts Championship action locally, you may need a different way to watch the tournament -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month.

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Livestream the PDC World Darts Championship 2025 in Canada

Like the US, if you want to stream the tournament live in Canada, you'll need to subscribe to DAZN.

Livestream the PDC World Darts Championship 2025 in Australia

The 2025 PDC World Darts Championship can be watched Down Under on Fox Sports via Foxtel. If you're not a Fox subscriber, your best option is to sign up for the streaming service Kayo Sports.

Kayo Sports

A Kayo Sports subscription starts at AU$25 a month and lets you stream on one screen, while its Premium tier costs AU$35 a month for simultaneous viewing on up to three devices.

The service gives you access to a wide range of sports, including F1, NRL, NFL, NHL and MLB, and there are no lock-in contracts.

Better still, if you're a new customer, you can take advantage of a one-week Kayo Sports free trial.

Quick tips for streaming the darts using a VPN With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming darts matches may vary.If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. Remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services.
