The 2025 Betfred World Matchplay continues on Monday, as the first round action draws to a close in Blackpool.

Day Three of the summer's biggest darts event will see the remaining opening round ties take place at the Winter Gardens, as three-time champion Michael van Gerwen faces 2010 finalist Raymond van Barneveld in a huge all-Dutch tie.

2022 runner-up Gerwyn Price will play two-time semi-finalist Daryl Gurney, while Josh Rock - who lifted the World Cup of Darts alongside Gurney last month - faces former European Champion Ross Smith in his opener.

Elsewhere, sixth seed Chris Dobey will kick off Monday's proceedings, with the former Masters champion pitted against German number two Ricardo Pietreczko for a place in the last 16.

The Betfred World Matchplay is being broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK & Ireland, through the PDC's worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay, and on PDCTV (excluding UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria & Switzerland based subscribers).
