December 19, 2025 was the final day of round one of the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship. The date has passed, so there is no upcoming live stream to watch now. Historically, U.S. coverage was listed on Peacock and FanDuel TV Extra, while international viewers used territory-specific official broadcasters. “Free” access was not guaranteed by those listings.
December 19, 2025 was the final day of round one of the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship. It is no longer an upcoming event: the date has passed. At the time, U.S. viewers could find official coverage through Peacock and FanDuel TV Extra, while viewers elsewhere used the broadcaster assigned to their territory. However, the official listings did not establish that either service offered universally free access.
The event was played at Alexandra Palace in London. The two sessions began at 12:30 GMT and 19:00 GMT. The information below is therefore a historical guide to where the championship was distributed and what was played on December 19, rather than a promise of a current live stream or replay.
What was played on December 19, 2025?
December 19 was the last day of the first round. The expanded 2025/26 championship then moved into round two from December 20 through December 23, followed by the Christmas break and the later rounds in late December and early January.

Afternoon session — 12:30 GMT

| Match |
|---|
| William O’Connor vs. Krzysztof Kciuk |
| Daryl Gurney vs. Beau Greaves |
| Nathan Aspinall vs. Lourence Ilagan |
| Keane Barry vs. Tim Pusey |
These matchups and session times come from the official PDC round-one schedule. The 12:30 GMT start was 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time and 4:30 a.m. Pacific Time. The 19:00 GMT start was 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time and 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Session times indicate when coverage was scheduled to begin; individual matches could start later depending on the length of earlier games.
How could viewers in the United States watch?
The official PDC viewing guide listed FanDuel TV Extra and Peacock as U.S. broadcast or streaming options for the championship.
NBC Sports’ December 10, 2025 announcement gave a more specific schedule for Peacock: its December 19 first-round coverage was listed from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NBC Sports described the broader arrangement as more than 100 hours of live Sky Sports coverage streamed through Peacock, and said the semifinals and final would also be available through NBC Sports NOW.
That distribution information should not be confused with a guaranteed free stream. An official broadcaster may require a subscription, a participating television or streaming package, platform access, or another form of authentication. Promotional access, blackout rules, and replay availability can also change. Because December 19, 2025 has passed, any current Peacock or FanDuel TV Extra page should be checked directly for archived coverage rather than assuming that the original live feed remains available.

International broadcasters for the 2025/26 championship
The PDC published territory-specific rights information for this championship. The historical assignments included:
| Territory | Listed broadcaster or service |
|---|---|
| United Kingdom and Ireland | Sky Sports |
| Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland | Viaplay |
| Germany, Austria and Switzerland | DAZN |
| Germany | Sport 1 |
| Belgium | VTM |
| Australia | Fox |
| New Zealand | Sky |
| France | L’Équipe |
| Hungary | Network 4/Pragosport |
| Czech Republic and Slovakia | Nova Sport |
The PDC also listed PDCTV for subscribers outside the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, subject to the service’s applicable geographic restrictions. The list above describes the rights arrangement for the 2025/26 championship only. It should not be treated as a current guide to a later World Darts Championship, since rights can change between tournaments and territories.
Was the World Darts Championship free to watch?
Not necessarily. “Free” is too broad a description unless a specific no-cost access route has been verified for a particular country, platform and date.
- Legal availability: the PDC’s viewing guide identified the official distribution partners.
- No-cost availability: the guide did not prove that every listed broadcaster offered the event without payment or a subscription.
- Access conditions: some services may require an account, an existing television package, a paid subscription or territory-specific eligibility.
- Replays: an old live listing does not guarantee that the full session or individual matches remain available on demand.
For a historical article, the most accurate wording is therefore: the matches were legally distributed through territory-specific official broadcasters, and U.S. coverage was listed on Peacock and FanDuel TV Extra. Whether a viewer could watch at no additional cost depended on the service, package and access conditions in that location.

How to check for an official replay now
- Start with the PDC’s official event or viewing information and confirm that you are looking at the 2025/26 championship, not a later tournament.
- Check the broadcaster assigned to your country. Do not use a broadcaster listed for another territory unless its own rights information confirms access.
- Search the service’s official sports, darts or on-demand section for the December 19 afternoon and evening sessions.
- Check whether the listing is a full replay, a highlights package or only a results page.
- Review sign-in, subscription, blackout and location requirements before assuming the content is free.
Unofficial restreams are not a reliable or appropriate alternative: they can disappear without notice, breach rights agreements and expose viewers to misleading downloads or unsafe advertising. The safest route is an official broadcaster, the PDC’s own platform where eligible, or an authorized highlights archive.
Set up your own darts night
If the championship inspired you to play rather than simply watch, an official-size dartboard is the most direct way to recreate the experience at home. The PDC Store’s equipment catalogue includes official PDC dartboards, and marketplace listings include professional-style and official-size bristle boards. Product availability, price, ratings and stock vary, so check the current listing before buying. No specific board should be described as the board used at the 2025/26 championship without a tournament-equipment source confirming that fact.
For a more authentic setup, consider a steel-tip dart set, a dart mat or throw line, and dartboard lighting. These are optional for casual play, but the Darts Regulation Authority rules specify a 2.37-metre minimum throwing distance and address the raised oche, playing area and lighting used in staged play. A safe, clearly marked throwing line matters more than copying a professional player’s equipment brand.
