The new-look line-up for ITV’s darting coverage has been unveiled ahead of the start of the 2026 season.
The PDC agreed a three-year extension with ITV last October, ensuring that audiences will continue to enjoy free-to-air darting coverage on ITV4 and ITVX until at least 2028.
ITV will continue to broadcast a host of high-profile PDC events, including the World Masters, UK Open, World Series of Darts Finals, European Championship and Players Championship Finals.
They will also televise all World Series of Darts global events, and the new deal with the broadcasting giant has seen the PDC take control of event production, with Pete Graves and Gabbie Partington set to front the broadcasts.
Partington will host the upcoming World Series of Darts double-header in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, having previously led coverage of the Ladies European Tour’s Aramco Team Series across the Middle East.
The 32-year-old has provided live darts coverage on talkSPORT radio, and has also hosted ‘The Darts Show Live’ at both the World Darts Championship and the World Matchplay.
Graves, meanwhile, joined Sky Sports News as a reporter in 2009, but soon became one of the main faces of the Sky Sports brand.
The 43-year-old has anchored live football and rugby union matches on Sky Sports, and he will host the upcoming Winmau World Masters at Arena MK in Milton Keynes from January 29-February 1.
The new-look punditry team will include five-time World Championship semi-finalist Wayne Mardle, one of the most recognisable figures in the sport.
Mardle has been a popular member of Sky Sports’ presentation team since 2011, and he will be joined by former Premier League champion Glen Durrant, who joined the Sky Sports team in 2023.
Former PDC star Mark Webster has been a regular feature on ITV’s World Series of Darts coverage over recent years, and the Welshman will continue to play a prominent role in their revamped production.
Having been part of ITV’s punditry team since 2010, former World Matchplay semi-finalist Chris Mason will remain part of the free-to-air coverage, alongside Dan Dawson.
Dawson - a mainstay of Sky Sports' team and the voice of the PDC's European Tour - heads up the commentary team, which also includes Mark Wilson and Ian Danter.
Wilson has starred on talkSPORT’s darting coverage over recent years, while also featuring as a commentator on World Series, European Tour and Players Championship events.
Broadcasting legend Danter - part of talkSPORT's roster for over two decades - has played an integral role in the success of darts on the radio, commentating on the World Championship, World Matchplay and Premier League throughout the last decade.
