WDFFriday, 31 October 2025 at 10:35
The WDF World Masters begins on Wednesday 29 October and here is all the information on how to watch the tournament in the coming days, known as the longest running major in darts.
Jimmy van Schie will be the favourite alongside 14-year-old prodigious talent Mitchell Lawrie. Among the other top names playing include Leonard Gates, Neil Duff, Scott Mitchell among others. In the women's, it is open season with Beau Greaves not playing so Rhian O'Sullivan who won the Dutch Open will be favourite alongside Deta Hedman, Mikuru Suzuki among others.
While in previous years, the tournament has been broadcast on TV in both the home countries and further afield, it will be this year solely on the WDF YouTube Channel with select matches across the tournament from the longest running dart major.
It will also be available to keep tabs on through DartConnect and there will be extensive coverage also on social media through Facebook, X and Instagram from the WDF as well as here on DartsNews regarding the tournament.
On Wednesday 29 October from 11am, it is the World Masters Round Robin with players put into groups and then winning through to the knockout stages. The knockout takes places on Thursday October 30th with the final being on the 1st November.
Sunday November 2nd also sees the WDF World Championship Qualifiers take place with the final spots for this year's Lakeside World Championship up for grabs. In between on Halloween (October 31st), the World Open takes place as part of a wider WDF World Darts Festival between Saturday 25 October - Sunday 2 November with the Hungarian Masters and Classic taking place this past weekend.
This means that for the most part those involved this weekend have already been in Hungary for a few days playing in other WDF events. It is controversially for some not the set format that the tournament has been known for with leg play now replacing it. The tournament was revived in its previous guise for the PDC Winmau World Masters which takes place in January of every year now.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Put the balls back in and have another go!rick6724-11-2025
- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
