On Wednesday, August 21 and Thursday, August 22, the next two
Players Championship tournaments will be played at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes. Players Championship 18 and 19 will be broadcast by the PDC via
live stream.
Among others, Michael van Gerwen, Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Michael Smith, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright have all signed up and will vie for the titles in the coming days.
All matches of the four stream boards will be broadcast live via PDCTV. To do so, you need to create an account and purchase a subscription. There is a monthly subscription (£9.99) and annual subscription (£59.99) available. It is also possible to take out a two-day subscription for £3.99.
Also, live streams are available through various betting sites. With these websites, you usually need a balance of at least five euros to access the stream offerings.
What is the PDC Pro Tour?
The 2024 Players Championship circuit has 30 tournaments. The field of participants in a Players Championship tournament consists of 128 players. These are usually the 128 PDC Tour Card holders. If a Tour Card holder does not register or later withdraws, the highest ranked players on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit are invited to fill the vacant spots.
The thirty Players Championship tournaments are played throughout the year at Wigan, Leicester, Hildesheim and Milton Keynes. Usually Barnsley was also one of the
Pro Tour venues, but this partnership has come to a temporary end after 2023. The first Players Championship tournaments will be in Wigan on Feb. 12 and 13, while the final two tournaments will take place in Leicester on Oct. 30 and 31.
Through the floor tournaments, players can force qualification for the major televised tournaments. The Players Championship tournaments count toward qualification races for the World Matchplay, World Grand Prix and World Darts Championship. Moreover, playing Players Championship tournaments is the only way to secure placement for the Players Championship Finals.
Four stream courts will be used at the Players Championship tournaments
