PDC Fantasy Darts has launched ahead of the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship, as the competition - sponsored by Winmau - returns for the sport’s showpiece event.
This year’s World Darts Championship will see an expanded 128-player field competing for a staggering £1m top prize and the iconic Sid Waddell Trophy, featuring 20 days of action from Thursday December 11 through to the final on Saturday January 3.
PLAY FANTASY DARTS!
As the biggest names in the sport go head-to-head at Alexandra Palace, you can immerse yourself in this year’s tournament by picking your ultimate ten-player team, made up of players competing in this year’s event.
Points will be scored based on your players' performances, while you can take on your friends in private leagues to determine who is the king of Fantasy Darts!
Picking your team:
Ahead of the first dart of the tournament on December 11, you must pick ten players based on the following pre-determined categories:
The Luke’s (x1)
Favourites (x2)
Contenders (x2)
Ones to Watch (x2)
Outsiders (x1)
Long Shots (x1)
Debutants (x1)
Transfers:
Transfers are available to change your team following the conclusion of Round Two (December 23) and Round Four (December 30).
You can only transfer your existing picks for other players in the same pre-determined category, and if all players are eliminated from that category, then the squad size will be reduced for all fantasy players across the board.
Captains:
In your team, you can select a Captain and Vice-Captain. Your Captain will score 2x their points, whilst your Vice-Captain will receive 1.5x their points. You can change your Captain and Vice-Captain when the transfer window is open.
