Usually the channel shows highlights of the World Series but due to it not taking place this year due to Coronavirus, there has been a big gap but there will be some World Series darts in the form of the Finals this weekend.
Featuring the top names including Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright alongside such players as Glen Durrant, 'The Queen of the Palace' Fallon Sherrock and Brisbane Darts Master winner, Damon Heta.
The latter names begin their campaigns on Friday before facing the seeded players. On ITV4, the action will take place between 8pm and 12:00am BST on the first two days with only evening sessions - the darts itself will start at 7pm but due to Tour de France - it will begin on ITV4 at 8pm.
Only on the final day will there be both afternoon and evening with the former starting at 11:45am and after a short break, the latter will start at 7:15pm with the conclusion of the World Series of Darts Finals.
As usual, it will be presented by Jacqui Oatley alongside Chris Mason, Alan Warriner-Little with commentary from John Rawling and Stuart Pyke across the weekend.
