World Darts Championship 2025 preview

It's Christmas...which means it's party time at the Ally Pally as the World Darts Championship gets underway.

And this brilliant Star special edition is the perfect way to prepare for what will be two weeks of thrills, spills and nail-biting drama on the oche as Luke Humphries looks to defend his title.

The phenomenon that is Luke Littler looks to be his main rival, but there are a host of big names in the frame.

We take a look at the leading contenders and hear from darts supremo Barry Hearn. 

There are special features on Humphries, Littler, Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith, Stephen Bunting, Mike de Decker and Ross Smith.

We go behind the scenes with Sky Sports at the Ally Pally, look at the overseas players who could cause an upset, while we also hear from legends Wayne Mardle and Phil Taylor.

Throw in some darts facts everyone needs to know, and you will be all set for the action.
