The PDC World Darts Championship takes place between December 15 - January 3 with Sky Sports as usual set to show all the action in the UK and with our handy TV Guide, you won't miss a second of the action from the Alexandra Palace.
Proceedings begin on Thursday December 15 with Peter Wright in action. Barring the 27th and the 31st, the tournament will be shown on Sky Sports Arena and Main Event with the latter dropping off the coverage for those dates post Christmas.
The World Cup as was the case with the Players Championship Finals also affects the World Championship with earlier starts on both Saturday December 17 and Sunday December 18 and later starts for the evening session at 20:00 GMT.
The only non double session day of the first half will be December 20 with proceedings starting at 19:00 GMT that evening and the post Christmas TV Guide is only confirmed up until December 31 and will be updated as such when revealed.
