The start of a new year brings more than just star-studded performances and a ball drop from Times Square — it also marks the official conclusion of the World Darts Championship.

Yes, darts, that centuries-old sport of throwing dagger-like projectiles at a round target, is suddenly having a resurgence, thanks to British star Luke Littler, who won last year’s tournament at just 17 years old. With almost three million followers across social media and celebrity fans ranging from F1 star Lando Norris to soccer legend David Beckham, Littler is commanding a new audience for the sport. He even got a shout-out from Pitbull after using the rapper’s track “Greenlight” as his walk-on song.

Now, the top-seeded Littler is back in the finals of the World Darts Championship, facing off against 10th seed Gerard “Gian” van Veen. Want to watch the 2026 World Darts Championship final online? Here’s what you need to know.
