What time is World Darts Championship final, TV channel and how to watch online

The final of the PDC World Darts Championship will see 18-year-old star Luke Littler bid to defend his title against another one of darts’ most formidable young talents, Gian van Veen.

The pair could ignite a generational rivalry on Saturday night at Alexandra Palace, but world No 1 Littler may have the edge after cruising through the semi-finals with ease, beating Ryan Searle – one of the tournament’s feelgood stories – 6-1.

Van Veen meanwhile beat two-time world champion Gary Anderson in an instant classic, ultimately triumphing 6-3 to book his spot in the showpiece – a remarkable achievement given he had never before gone past the second round.

Littler and Van Veen will be in action on Saturday night, with £1,000,000 on the line.
