ITV Extends Live Darts Coverage With PDC

ITV and the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) have agreed a new three-year deal, extending their partnership until 2028 and further expanding ITV's live darts coverage.

Under the agreement, PDC events will continue to be available free-to-air in the UK on ITV4 and ITVX, ensuring fans nationwide can follow the sport without subscription barriers.

The deal includes coverage of key PDC tournaments, such as the World Masters, UK Open, European Championship, Players Championship Finals, all World Series of Darts global events, and the World Series of Darts Finals.

Reflecting the sport's growing popularity, 2025 was ITV’s biggest-ever year of darts coverage, featuring more days of PDC action than ever before.

As part of the new agreement, all ITV-broadcast events will be produced by the PDC, with continued linear coverage on ITV4 and simultaneous streaming on ITVX, giving fans even greater flexibility to follow the action.

PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter, said: "We are delighted to continue our long-standing relationship with ITV, with the new deal set to take our partnership beyond 20 years.

"With more buzz around darts than ever before, we are pleased to be able to deliver free-to-air coverage of so many of our popular events to UK fans."

Niall Sloane, ITV Director of Sport, said: "We are pleased to expand and extend our live darts coverage here at ITV Sport, as we look to keep the biggest events in professional darts free-to-air for the UK audience to enjoy. We have a great relationship with the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and look forward to continuing our work with them into 2028."
