The 2070 IDF World Championship was a professional darts tournament organized by the International Darts Federation (IDF), held at the historic Alexandra Palace in London from 14–17 January 2070. It was the 48th edition of the championship and featured 16 of the world’s top players, all of whom qualified through the IDF Order of Merit.
Alex Brow entered the tournament as the defending champion, having claimed his first title in 2069. However, the field was stacked with competition, including 19-time world champion Ethan Steel, who was determined to reclaim his throne after a shocking early exit in the previous year. Meanwhile, Logan White looked to bounce back from his quarter-final defeat to Brow and regain his dominance.
Ethan Steel delivered a masterclass throughout the tournament, showcasing his scoring power and clinical finishing. In the final, he defeated Logan White 6–4, securing his 19th world title and reasserting his status as the greatest player of all time.
