The battle for the youth world title erupts Monday. A field of 128 players will kick off the PDC World Youth Championship 2024. Participants include some familiar names and the draw has now been revealed.
All players are divided into 32 groups of four players each. After the pool phase, the 32 group winners advance to the knockout phase. The tournament will then continue until the two finalists are known. The final of the PDC World Youth Championship is traditionally on final night of the Players Championship Finals in Minehead. This is on Sunday, Nov. 24.
Favorites for the youth world title include Gian van Veen and Wessel Nijman. Van Veen, meanwhile, is ranked No. 31 on the regular PDC Order of Merit, while Nijman won the annual ranking on the PDC Development Tour by force. The two Dutchmen will face competition from the likes of Marvin van Velzen, Moreno Blom, Nathan Rafferty, Owen Bates, Bradley Brooks, Sebastian Bialecki, Dylan Slevin, Keane Barry, Niko Springer, Owen Roelofs, Danny Jansen, Adam Gawlas and Jurjen van der Velde.
The winners of the past two Youth World Championships are missing from this edition. Josh Rock (winner 2022) and Luke Littler (2023) have both withdrawn. Also, Beau Greaves is not competing in the PDC World Youth Championship either. The 20-year-old Englishwoman finished in the top ten on the Development Tour Order of Merit.

- Have you noticed in honour of the great man ,Richie Burnett that Waitrose have designed their current carrier bags with a bright green W...very reminiscent of the shirt Richie wore in the 90s Never in the history of darts do we need a player to withdraw and provide that safety net for the greatest player in darts. Seeing as Richie Burnett is a World Champion he should have a permanent tour card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2026
- Come on big lad,you say something, delete it,so what's the beef? You lost 5-0. Did he just lose his tissue whilst crying? If you can't do it, don't. You wouldn't catch your dad wiping your nose! All the greats of the past,and a snotty kid boy who lost. Boo boo. Come on Mr Burnett,you know you agree with me!!! You are a true gentrick6707-01-2026
- What's he moaning about? His dad not letting him borrow his drill bits to throw with? Come on boy,the dartboard doesn't move,if you're like this now,best you get driving for Uber,and shut up lad. Gamesmanship is part of it,grow your hair or grow a pairrick6707-01-2026
- Bunting over Noppy? No thanks, I'm out. My PDC sub lapses at the end of the month, maybe I'll renew it for the next WDC.thebogeyman06-01-2026
- I definitely won't be watching this tripe. Picking fatty Bunting so he can mime and do those pathetic hand gestures in a desperate attempt to appease the crowd is completely criminal. This worthless goof and peoples chump is taking home £80000 from the competition Why not pick Justin Hood? A refreshing and very popular characterrichieburnettrocks05-01-2026
- With those averages,I can really not see anyone quaking in their shoes!rick6705-01-2026
- Well,I won't be be watching the weekly tirade of this 'league!' It's honestly a waste of time,I'm fed up with writing it,but it's a weekly p**s up for fans,and a payday for 8 players and the pdc. Helps not 1 single other playerrick6705-01-2026
