The 2025 World Series of Darts Finals, taking place from September 12-14 at AFAS Live in Amsterdam, is a thrilling conclusion to the PDC World Series tour, featuring 32 top players, including Luke Littler, Stephen Bunting, and Michael van Gerwen, competing for a £400,000 prize fund. Here’s how to watch the event live and on TV in the UK, USA, and Australia, based on the latest information from dartsnews.com and pdc.tv.
UK:
– Live TV Broadcast: ITV4 and its streaming platform ITVX will broadcast the entire tournament live in the UK. Coverage begins on Friday, September 12, at 6:00 PM BST for the first eight matches of the first round. On Saturday, September 13, the afternoon session (final eight first-round matches) starts at 11:45 AM BST, followed by the second round at 6:00 PM BST. Sunday, September 14, features the quarterfinals at 11:45 AM BST and the semifinals and final at 6:00 PM BST.
– Live Streaming: ITVX offers free streaming for UK viewers. For those outside the UK needing to unblock ITVX, a VPN like NordVPN (£3.19/month) can be used, as noted by worlddartsupdates.com. Additionally, PDCTV provides live streaming for subscribers (£49.99/year), though major tournaments like this are primarily covered via ITV4 in the UK.
USA:
– Live Streaming: The World Series of Darts Finals will not be broadcast on traditional TV in the USA, as the PDC’s deal with Peacock covers only select events like the Premier League Darts Play-Offs, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts, and World Darts Championship, per *dartsnews.com*. Instead, US viewers can watch live on PDCTV, the PDC’s subscription service (£49.99/year or £4.99/month), which streams all matches live outside the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Session times align with UK timings, starting at 1:00 PM EDT on Friday, 6:45 AM and 1:00 PM EDT on Saturday, and 6:45 AM and 1:00 PM EDT on Sunday.
– Access Note: A VPN may be required for US viewers traveling abroad to access PDCTV, ensuring uninterrupted streaming.
Australia:
– Live TV Broadcast: Fox Sports will broadcast the tournament live in Australia, covering all sessions. Alternatively, Kayo Sports, a streaming service, offers live coverage with plans starting at AU$25/month, as noted for other PDC events like the World Darts Championship on *tomsguide.com*.
– Live Streaming: PDCTV is also available for Australian viewers (£49.99/year), providing live streams of all matches. Session times in AEST are approximately 3:00 AM on Saturday, September 13, for the first round, 9:45 PM and 3:00 AM on Sunday, September 14, for the second round and quarterfinals, and 9:45 PM and 3:00 AM on Monday, September 15, for the semifinals and final.
Additional Notes:
– PDCTV’s annual pass includes access to other PDC events like Players Championships and Women’s Series, plus priority ticket sales for tournaments. For global viewers in regions without specific broadcasters (e.g., Germany uses DAZN, New Zealand uses Sky), PDCTV is the primary option. Check *pdc.tv* for full broadcast schedules and regional partners.
– All times are approximate and subject to change, so verify with broadcasters closer to the event.
