Paddy Power World Darts Championship (Kieran Cleeves, PDC)

Ahead of the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship, the PDC can confirm the intended days on which players will play their round two games.

The sport's biggest-ever tournament will begin on Thursday December 11 at Alexandra Palace, as 128 players compete for the Sid Waddell Trophy and a record £5 million prize fund.

Round one will be split across nine days from December 11-19, with round two then completing the pre-Christmas action from December 20-23.

While the exact schedule of matches will be confirmed during round one, the PDC can announce that each half of the draw will be allocated to two days for their round two games.

The top half of the draw will play their round two games on Saturday December 20 and Sunday December 21.

The bottom half of the draw will then conclude the pre-Christmas action on Monday December 22 and Tuesday December 23.

Following a three-day Christmas break, the World Darts Championship resumes on December 27, with round three and round four taking place across four days.

The quarter-finals are then held on New Year's Day, with the tournament concluding with the semi-finals on January 2 and the final on January 3.
