The '''2033 IDF World Championship''' was a professional darts tournament organised by the [[International Darts Federation]] (IDF) and held at [[Alexandra Palace]] in London, England, from 14 December 2032 to 2 January 2033. It was the tenth edition of the IDF World Championship. The total prize fund remained at $7,500,000, with $1,500,000 awarded to the winner.

The field included 128 players, with the top 32 players in the IDF Order of Merit seeded into the second round. [[Theo Bartlett]] entered as the defending champion after winning the 2032 title in dramatic fashion, but he was eliminated in the semi-finals by [[Liam Renshaw]], who went on to win his third world championship with a 7–5 victory over [[Niklas Stein]] in the final.

The tournament was notable for its tight margins and high averages, with multiple matches decided in sudden-death legs. Former champions [[Zane Holloway]] and [[Elias Storm]] both fell before the quarter-finals, while Bartlett’s run came to an end in a classic against Renshaw. Germany’s Stein became the first continental European to reach a World Championship final in IDF history.

Among the qualifiers, [[Levi Stroud]] edged [[Jean Meers]] in a deciding leg thriller. [[Aidan Lowe]] hit ten 180s in a 3–2 win over [[Jordan Kaine]], while [[Ivan Sørensen]] impressed with a 102.8 average in his whitewash win over [[Colby Nwosu]].

=== Second round ===
The seeds entered and the shocks began. [[Elias Storm]] was eliminated 3–2 by debutant [[Tomas Vacek]], who checked out 136 to seal the upset. [[Theo Bartlett]] began his title defence confidently with a 3–0 win over [[Louis Caldwell]]. [[Tyler Brooks]] hit the tournament’s only nine-darter in a 3–1 win against [[Derrick So]], while Renshaw survived two match darts to scrape past [[Ben Durrant]].

=== Third round ===
Renshaw found form to dismiss [[Tyson Hale]] 4–1, with a 167 checkout from Hale the highest of the event. Bartlett ousted [[Marco Flynn]] 4–2 in a scrappy affair. [[Niklas Stein]] looked dominant again, beating [[Aidan Lowe]] 4–0. [[Bentley Quade]] fell 4–3 to [[Danny Vos]] in a match that swung wildly throughout.

=== Fourth round (last 16) ===
Stein outclassed [[Patrick Lang]] with a 103 average and four 100+ checkouts. Renshaw outplayed [[Matthew Keane]] 4–1, while Bartlett came through a brutal seven-set clash against [[Ivan Sørensen]], surviving a 125 finish that would’ve forced sudden death. [[Zane Holloway]] lost 4–2 to [[Tomas Vacek]], who continued his giant-killing run.

=== Quarter-finals ===
Theo Bartlett ended Vacek’s dream run with a commanding 5–1 victory, punishing missed doubles. Stein defeated Brooks 5–3 in a high-scoring contest, while Renshaw edged out [[Danny Vos]] 5–4 in a thriller that featured a 110 average from both players. [[Luca Hartmann]]'s run ended in a 5–2 loss to [[Dean Maddox]].

=== Semi-finals ===
The semi-final between Renshaw and Bartlett lived up to the hype. Bartlett led 4–3 before Renshaw reeled off three sets in a row, landing a 104 average and four 100+ finishes to win 6–4. Stein ended Maddox’s run with a composed 6–2 win, becoming the first German player to reach an IDF World Championship final.
