Like the World Seniors Masters, it is BT Sport who hold the sole rights in the UK. It will be shown live on BT Sport 1 over the course of the weekend with a session between 19:00-23:00 on Friday. On Saturday, it will compile a double session day with action starting at 13:00 until 17:00.
It will then shift over for the evening session for the only time over the weekend to BT Sport 2 with boxing in the form of Frank Warren's card featuring Joe Joyce v Christian Hammer taking the main slot on BT Sport 1 but again will be on from 7:00pm-11:00pm.
For the Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals and Final, it will move back to BT Sport 1 with the former taking place in the afternoon session and the latter in the evening session. Both at the prior time slots of 13:00pm and 19:00pm.
In other territories, it will be shown on Sport 1 in Germany and the rest of the world can purchase an event pass here from 247.tv for £5 per session or £10 per event.
Chris Murphy will be on commentary duty as has been the case in these tournaments and he will be joined by former PDC Tour Card holder and YouTube/social media star, Matthew Edgar with 'Prime Time' set to travel to Hull. Ray Stubbs and Bobby George are expected again to anchor the coverage.
