The PDC and PDPA are set to support the social media boycott which is set to take place over Bank Holiday weekend in a stand against online abuse and discrimination.
Not only the PDC but a range of sports teams and broadcasters from football, rugby, cricket, tennis and basketball will also be involved in not posting across social media from 15:00 BST on Friday April 30 until 23:59 BST on Monday May 3.
"We stand united with fellow sports, broadcasters and other partners in the fight against racism and abuse in any sport," said PDC Chief Executive Matthew Porter.
"The evolution of social media over the past decade has enabled a much broader interaction between sport and fans worldwide, but this has also given a platform for discrimination and abuse which has no place in society.
"We support the action urging for more to be done by social media companies to prevent online hate, as well as the UK Government's Online Safety Bill."
