PDC's coverage on ITV Sport will continue until at least the end of 2022 with a multi-year contract signed with the broadcast.
This deal will see coverage continue of The Masters, UK Open, European Championship, Players Championship Finals and World Series of Darts Finals.
In addition, World Series events will continue including the 2021 schedule seeing trips to Australia, New Zealand and America.
"We're delighted to extend our partnership with ITV Sport," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.
"ITV Sport have been valuable partners for the PDC for over a decade and our events remain hugely popular with their viewers.
"Last year's Masters win for Peter Wright was followed by Michael van Gerwen winning the UK Open on a weekend which featured two televised nine-darters and showcased the excitement of top-level darts.
"We also saw Gerwyn Price win the World Series of Darts Finals and further wins for Wright and Van Gerwen in the European Championship and Players Championship Finals, and go into 2021 with competition at the sport's highest level greater than ever.
"We're looking forward to bringing more thrilling PDC action to ITV viewers in the coming years!"
As well as the PDC coverage, ITV have signed a multi-year contract as a whole including on their snooker side for Matchroom.
