The post-Christmas schedule of play for the 2024/25 Paddy Power World Darts Championship third round has been finalised.
The remaining 32 players will continue their pursuit of the iconic Sid Waddell Trophy when the tournament resumes on Wednesday December 27, as the third round is spread across three days of action.
Reigning champion Luke Humphries will continue his title quest against Nick Kenny on Friday evening, as former winners Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright take on Joe Cullen and Jermaine Wattimena respectively.
Masters champion Stephen Bunting will headline the afternoon’s action against Latvia’s Madars Razma, as former quarter-finalists Jonny Clayton and Daryl Gurney also go head-to-head.
Australian number one Damon Heta will play Luke Woodhouse in the afternoon’s other tie, before Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen resume their title challenges on Saturday December 28.
Teenage sensation Littler will play Ian White for a place in the last 16, while three-time World Champion Van Gerwen faces Brendan Dolan in a battle of last year’s quarter-finalists.
Chris Dobey and Josh Rock collide in another captivating tussle, while last year's semi-finalist Scott Williams takes on Ricardo Pietreczko - the last German representative left in the tournament.
The third round will conclude on Sunday December 29, as UK Open champion Dimitri Van den Bergh plays a resurgent Callan Rydz, while Kevin Doets goes head-to-head with Poland's number one Krzysztof Ratajski.
The fourth round will then conclude on December 30, while the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will take place from January 1-3.
The Paddy Power World Darts Championship is being broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK, through the PDC's worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay, and on PDCTV (excluding UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria & Switzerland based subscribers).
