The World Matchplay is due to take place between 19-27 July, 2025 with Luke Humphries aiming to defend his title from 12 months ago when he saw off Michael van Gerwen in the final.
The annual pilgrimage to the Winter Gardens every year is always one to savour as Blackpool welcomes darts with the tickets selling out continually in record time in the iconic venue. The 32-player field this year will compete for £200,000 top prize at the Winter Gardens.
As well as Humphries, Luke Littler who will be favourite to seal the title also returns this time around. As will Van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright, Gary Anderson, Nathan Aspinall and Stephen Bunting.
The sessions begin every night at 19:00 BST and will last until around 23:00 BST. The only exception is the afternoon sessions with 1pm start on the Sunday. It also will start at 8pm from the Quarter-Finals onwards. In the UK, the tournament will be shown on Sky Sports.
It will be shown on Sky Sports+ and Sky Sports Main Event, the latter starts a tad later. Sky Sports Action will also show the tournament on Tuesday night but usually with the top matches at the end of the night, the feed is then taken onto Sky Sports Main Event too.
Elsewhere, it will be shown in Netherlands, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Bulgaria and Baltic States on Viaplay. DAZN show the tournament in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Sport1 also show the event in Germany. While Fox Sports are set to show it in Australia and Sky in New Zealand. With their groundbreaking partnership with Peacock and NBC, the USA will also show the event as part of a new deal with the platform.
Elsewhere Nova in Czech Republic and Slovakia, Prago Sport in Hungary and VTM in Belgium also show the darting event seen as the second biggest on the darting calendar.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
