Watch the World Series on ITV
Earlier this year, Sky Sports announced it had made a long-term deal with the PDC to broadcast over 60 days of live darts coverage. However, 2025’s eight World Series of Darts events were not part of the agreement.
Consequently, the Nordic Darts Masters, US Masters and Poland Masters will all be broadcast on ITV. Likewise, the Australian Masters (August 6-9), New Zealand Masters (August 15-16) and September’s World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam will be televised by the terrestrial channel.
Historically, Michael van Gerwen is the most successful World Series of Darts player in history. He has won 21 World Series events since the series was inaugurated in 2013. Amongst players currently on the circuit, Rob Cross and Gerwyn Price have won five apiece. Despite a short career, Luke Littler has won three.
