The 2026 PDC World Darts Championship will be held from December 11, 2025 to January 3, 2026 at Alexandra Palace in London.
Luke Littler enters as defending champion after defeating Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in sets in the 2025 final to become the youngest world champion in darts history at just 17 years old. Littler is currently ranked the world #1 and goes in as the bookies' favourite to win it again, coming off of winning the Players Championship Finals on November 23rd.
The tournament this time around has been expanded from 96 to 128 players with a record £5 million prize fund, including £1 million for the champion.
This market resolves according to either the PDC's official website or their social media accounts (whichever is quicker to post the result).
