When Is The Darts Final On

So, you’re wondering when the darts final is on. I get it. Your calendar is probably full of important things, like dentist appointments and pretending to like salads. But this? This is the clash of the tungsten titans!

Let’s be honest: we’ve all been there. You’re halfway through a pint, suddenly remembering you forgot to set the reminder. Don’t panic. I’ve got your back, friend.

First, let’s nail down which darts final you mean. Is it the PDC World Championship? That’s the big one at Alexandra Palace. You know, the one with the mental crowd and glow-in-the-dark shirts.

Or maybe you're talking about the Premier League Darts final. That’s the one that hops around arenas, like a traveling circus of 180s. Either way, the answer is: it depends on the time of year.

For the PDC World Championship, the final is usually on a Friday night in early January. Specific dates vary, but it's always after New Year’s Eve. Perfect timing to cure your post-party hangover with some arrows.

The match starts around 8:00 PM UK time. That’s prime time for drama, shouting, and the occasional “get in the hole!” (wrong sport, but we forgive them). You’ll want snacks ready by 7:45 PM.

If you’re in the US, do the math. That’s like 3:00 PM Eastern or 12:00 PM Pacific on a Friday. So, you can either take a long lunch or pretend your Wi-Fi is “down” for the afternoon. Your boss won’t know.

For the Premier League final, it lands in May. Usually on a Thursday or a Friday, around the same 8:00 PM slot. Think of it as the grand finale of a nine-week bender of 170 finishes.

Is there a BDO World Championship still? Maybe, maybe not. That final is traditionally on a Saturday in January. But let’s be real: you’re probably watching the PDC version. It’s got the big names and the big hair.

My favorite part? The walk-on music. The finalists get a full-on rock star entrance. It’s better than the Super Bowl halftime show, minus the wardrobe malfunctions. You don’t want to miss that.

How to confirm the exact date and time

Don’t trust your mate Kevin—he once thought the final was in July (bless his heart). Use the official PDC website or Sky Sports. Or just Google “darts final 2025” and hope for the best.

Pro tip: bookmark the live schedule page. The darts calendar shifts like a slippery dart board. One minute it’s October, the next it’s suddenly December 23rd. Seriously, it’s messy.

Also, check your local TV listings. In the UK, it’s on Sky Sports. In the US, it’s on DAZN or occasionally BBC America. You might need a VPN if you’re in a blackout zone. Worth it for the oche action.

Why you should set an alarm

Because the final goes late. We’re talking potentially midnight or 1:00 AM if it goes to a tie-break. You don’t want to fall asleep at 10 PM and wake up to spoilers on Twitter.

Imagine the horror: scrolling Instagram and seeing “WINNER: LUKE LITTLER” before you even poured coffee. Set a reminder. Do it now. I’ll wait.

And if you’re having a party? Invite me, please. I’ll bring the peanuts and the questionable trivia about dart weights. We’ll have a blast.

In short: the darts final is on a late-afternoon or evening slot, depending on your time zone. Check the PDC website for the exact date a few weeks beforehand. Mark your social calendar in permanent ink.

Or, if you’re like me, just show up expecting chaos. You’ll get shouting, shaking heads, and maybe a nine-dart finish. That’s the beauty of it. You’re not just watching a sport; you’re watching a theatre of obsession.

So, grab your inflatable dartboard, warm up your shouting voice, and circle that date. The final will be on. And trust me, you don’t want to be the one asking “who won?” the next morning. That’s amateur hour.
