LIVE STREAM: How to watch Dutch Open Darts live in the UK, USA and Australia

The Dutch Open Darts takes place this weekend with 1,000's of players taking part in an event which is one of the longest running darts tournaments in the world and most well attended. Between 5-8 February, De Bonte Wever in Assen becomes home to one of the WDF's premier events.

The tournament will be shown in the Netherlands on their channel RTL7 but what about further afield? In the UK, USA and Australia, the NDB who run Dutch Darts have put a stream on YouTube.

The action which is in its very early stages on Saturday in the open and women's tournament seeing streaming boards with the top names involved shown on them. Jeffrey Sparidaans is the defending champion in the men's and Rhian O'Sullivan in the women's. But neither will return this year.

Sparidaans has returned to the PDC ProTour for 2026 so will be in Hildesheim ready for Monday's action, while O'Sullivan is also in Hildesheim for this weekend's Women's Series.

The same can be said in terms of absentees for former leading lights in Beau Greaves, Jimmy van Schie and Wesley Plaisier. All of whom are now PDC Tour Card holders.

Albeit Van Schie and Plaisier did in fact still play the warm-up tournament and have been allowed to play pairs over the course of the weekend with special dispensation by the PDC to do so. This is due to their PDC contract stating they can't play in anything streamed/televised outside the PDC system and the Dutch Open of course is.

Van Schie faced Plaisier and won in the warm-up tournament. A dream final in the men's pairs was also set as Dirk van Duijvenbode and Maik Kuivenhoven face Jimmy van Schie and Danny van Trijp.

Those who are playing include Jenson Walker, James Beeton, Corne Groeneveld in the men's as top seeds. Andy Baetens is already out losing early. Lerena Rietbergen, Lorraine Hyde, Aileen de Graaf and Priscilla Steenbergen lead the women's draw with a stronger field despite the Women's Series seeing the likes of Sherrock, Greaves, O'Sullivan and others all playing in Germany.
