The long-awaited online match between Raymond van Barneveld and Phil Taylor will take place on Thursday evening.
Van Barneveld and Taylor will play against each other via an electronic soft tip board called Nexus. The darts supplier Target's board features a built-in webcam and microphone, allowing players to see each other during the match.
As a result of this match, the former rivals hope to raise money for the fight against the Coronavirus.
Barney is playing for the food banks, while The Power is raising money for the NHS. This game can be seen throughout Paddy Power’s social media on Thursday evening from 20:00.
The star studded duo have already played 83 times against each other, but this will be their first online match.
Taylor has often been successful against Van Barneveld in the past. The 16-time world champion has won no less than 61 times, compared to eighteen victories for the five time World Champion in all.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
