Darts fans won’t want to miss a moment of this year’s PDC tournament with 72 players battling it out for the Sid Waddell trophy.

Michael van Gerwen is the defending champion, but all eyes will be on Phil Taylor as he looks to land a 17th world title in his final ever tournament.

Here’s how you can watch all the action from Alexandra Palace.

What TV channel is the World Darts Championship on and how can I watch it?

Sky Sports once again have all the rights to the tournament.

Coverage will be split between Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Arena.

Sky Sports Arena will be broadcasting from 7pm onwards for evening sessions.
