• There are only four players left competing in the World Championship.
• Luke Littler, Stephen Bunting, Chris Dobey and Michael van Gerwen in the semi-final.
• Sky has announced coverage plans for this evening.

The PDC World Darts Championship has reached the climax of the competition. After a blockbuster day of action at Alexandra Palace on New Year's Day, the semi-finals are set to take place this evening (January 2).

Only four players were left standing as the drama really started to heat up after Christmas. Defending champion Luke Humphries was eliminated in the fourth round – and many other top seeds, including 2023 winner Michael Smith, fell in the early rounds.

The sport's successful young star Luke Littler will take on fan favorite Stephen Bunting, while three-time champion Michael van Gerwen takes on Chris Dobey. But you may be wondering how to log in.

Sky Sports has coverage of the entire competition again in December 2024 and January 2025. The television broadcast is scheduled to begin at 7.30pm this evening (January 2).

The first match is scheduled to start at 7:45 p.m. and the second at 9:15 p.m. However, this could change depending on the length of the first semi-final.

If you don't have a Sky Sports subscription, you can also watch it on NOW TV – if you have a sports pass. It will stream live NOW, so you can watch the action as it happens.

For those with a Sky Sports subscription, you may be wondering which channel the semi-final is on. Sky Sports Darts (temporarily rebranded as Sky Sports F1) will of course show it live – on 406 for Sky users – as well as Sky Sports Main Event (channel 401).
