PDC World Matchplay 2026: Live TV and Streaming Details for Luke Littler and Martin Schindler
The PDC World Matchplay, one of the most prestigious events on the PDC Tour, will feature the world's top darts stars from July 18th to July 26th, 2026. The tournament will take place at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, England. This event is considered second only to the World Championship in importance within the darts calendar. German players Martin Schindler and Niko Springer will be competing, alongside global stars like Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen.
Unfortunately, there will be no traditional free-to-air television broadcast of the PDC World Matchplay. Consequently, you won't be able to watch it on channels like Sport1.
Instead, the entire tournament will be exclusively streamed by DAZN. They will be broadcasting all sessions live and have assembled a high-quality commentary team including Elmar Paulke, Adrian Geiler, Florian Hempel, and Tim Wolters. For the final three days of the tournament, Gabriel Clemens will join the expert panel. Access to these streams will require a paid subscription to DAZN.
However, fans will have the option to watch the darts spectacle for free via the channel DAZN Darts x Pluto TV.
