This is the post-Christmas schedule at the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship

The PDC has announced the schedule for the first days of the 2025 World Darts Championship after the Christmas break. Due to the Christmas season, the World Darts Championship is traditionally halted for three days before the darts spectacle gets underway again from Friday, December 27.

The third round kicks off with a friendly between Damon Heta and Luke Woodhouse, while later that afternoon Jonny Clayton and Stephen Bunting will also be featured. On Friday night, it is then the turn of Jermaine Wattimena, among others, who faces two-time world champion Peter Wright. Former world champion Gerwyn Price and reigning Luke Humphries will also play their opening match.
