TV Guide: When and where to watch the 2024 Australian Darts Masters

On Friday, August 9 and Saturday, August 10, the Australian Darts Masters 2023 is scheduled at the WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong. The World Series tournament will be broadcast by PDC.tv and ITV in the UK.

The Australian Darts Masters consists of two sessions. On Friday, the first round will be played from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. UK time. Here the eight PDC top players will take on the eight local players from Australia and New Zealand. This can be viewed live on PDC.tv, but for ITV4 coverage, you will have to wait until 19:00.

The quarter-finals will take place on Saturday morning starting at 10:00 am. Following that, the semifinals and finals will be completed. Around 2:30 p.m. we will then know who is the winner of the Australian Darts Masters. Again this can be viewed live on PDC.tv but for ITV4 it will be a 17:00 start for delayed coverage.

Just like last year, Michael van Gerwen will be absent from the World Series tournaments in 'Down Under'. Van Gerwen went under the knife for a new dental operation at the end of July and is still recovering from it.

World champion Luke Humphries heads the 16-player field of competitors in Wollongong. Humphries is one of two PDC representatives making their debut on Australian soil, with teen sensation Littler also breaking new ground after taking the darts world by storm over the past nine months including winning the Premier League Darts at the age of 17.

Rob Cross - the winner in Wollongong in 2023 - is hoping to follow up his strong results at the World Series. Australian number one Damon Heta will try to shine on home soil, while former world champions Michael Smith, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright will also make their appearances. Dimitri Van den Bergh completes the list of PDC representatives. The UK Open champion gets to compete in a Wrold Series tournament in Australia for the third time in his career.

Australian darts legend Simon Whitlock, who along with Heta won the 2022 World Cup of Darts, tops the list of Oceanic representatives. Haupai Puha, New Zealand's best dart player has also received an invitation. The field of participants is further completed by Brenton Lloyd, Rob Modra, Stuart Coburn, Joe Comito, John Hurring and Jeremy Fagg.
