When is the PDC World Darts Championship draw? How to watch as Littler, Humphries, Van Gerwen find out Ally Pally fate

The line-up for the 2025/26 PDC World Darts Championship will be confirmed on Monday evening and no sooner will we get the field set but the draw will also be done.

A record breaking 128 players will play at the Alexandra Palace between December 11 - January 3. Dartsmas is the most wonderful time of year and the PDC World Darts Championship not only features an increased field but also a prize fund of £5m.

Reigning champion Luke Littler leads the way with 40 automatic qualifiers already set courtesy of the PDC Order of Merit. The top 40 who have not qualified via the PDC ProTour Order of Merit also feature with the rest set based off international qualifiers.

In a change from previous years, the draw will be different and gives less protection to the top names in regards to them playing one less game. Every player will start from the first round stage. The top 32 seeded players and players ranked 33-64 are drawn at random into the left side of the draw against the top 64 qualifiers.

The draw will be completed by British home broadcaster Sky Sports likely by host Emma Paton as well as a pundit or two from the team usually Wayne Mardle and Mark Webster who often conduct the draw in years gone by. It will be made on Monday November 24 at 4:30pm and will be shown live on Sky Sports News.

Coverage will also be streamed on the Sky Sports Darts YouTube channel likely making it accessible to those in the US, Australia and Europe to follow along and the details will also be on DartsNews.com post the draw. Below are the players who will be included in Monday's draw.
