Stay fully updated on the latest happenings during the 2024 WDF World Championship at Lakeside in our Tournament Centre. Here you will find the schedule of play, all results, information about the prize money distribution and how to access the live stream.
The third edition of the WDF World Championship is scheduled for December 29 through December 8 in Frimley Green. Previously, the BDO World Championship was played at Lakeside from 1978 to 2019.
Although the tournament won't be broadcast on TV until finals weekend, interested parties can follow the tournament via a live stream. All operations will be broadcast on the YouTube channel of GREAT! game. This means that anyone with an Internet connection can watch all 10 tournament days for free, no matter where they are in the world.
The total prize fund for the WDF Lakeside World Championship includes £221,000 in prize money. That is a lot less than in 2023, when it was £257,000.
The main prize for the winner of the men's and women's tournament did remain the same. The winner in the men's will take home 50,000 pounds in prize money. The winner in the women's will receive a check for 25,000 pounds.
