How to watch Players Championship 22-23 live as ProTour action returns to Hildesheim

The Players Championship series resumes on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 July with Events 22 and 23. Key ranking points and qualification opportunities are up for grabs with many of the big names also not playing in Hildesheim.

Many of those heading to Australia have decided not to enter including Jonny Clayton, Damon Heta, Luke Humphries, Luke Littler, Josh Rock as well as Stephen Bunting, Chris Dobey and Gerwyn Price. James Wade will also take the next double header off after his run to the World Matchplay final.

This leaves the likes of Dave Chisnall, Joe Cullen, Daryl Gurney, Ross Smith, Dimitri van den Bergh, Gian van Veen and Raymond van Barneveld as those who will make the trip over to Germany so opportunity certainly knocks.

The Players Championship circuit is a vital part of the PDC Pro Tour, comprising 34 events in 2025. These ‘floor tournaments’ form the backbone of the season for the 128 PDC Tour Card holders, offering prize money, ranking points, and qualification pathways to major televised events.
