The '''2027 IDF World Darts Championship''' was a professional [[darts]] tournament organised by the [[International Darts Federation]] (IDF), held from 12 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 at [[Alexandra Palace]] in [[London]], England.


The tournament features 96 players, a reduction from the record 128-player field used for the [[2026 IDF World Darts Championship|2026 edition]]. The top 32 players on the [[IDF Order of Merit]] will be seeded and enter the competition in the second round, while the remaining 64 players will begin in the first round.
[[Alex Brow]] won the championship, defeating [[Jeroen van Dijk]] 8–7 in the final. It was Brow's second World Championship title, having previously won the [[2025 IDF World Darts Championship|2025 edition]]. His victory also completed a run of three consecutive major titles following victories at the [[2026 IDF Grand Slam of Darts|2026 Grand Slam]] and [[2026 IDF Players Championship Finals|2026 Players Championship Finals]]. Brow finished the tournament on a 19-match winning streak across the three events.

== Overview ==
==Background==


The [[International Darts Federation (IDF)|International Darts Federation]] was founded in 2022 to provide an expanded professional pathway for players outside the established [[Professional Darts Corporation]] system. The organisation placed particular emphasis on players from Australia, New Zealand, Asia and other regions where casual and semi-professional competitors had limited access to major professional tournaments.
===Format===
The 2027 championship featured 96 players, a reduction from the 128-player field used at the 2026 tournament.


The inaugural [[2023 IDF World Darts Championship]] was staged at Alexandra Palace in London. The venue has remained the permanent home of the championship and will host the competition for a fifth consecutive year in 2027.
The top 32 players on the IDF Order of Merit following the [[2026 IDF Players Championship Finals]] were seeded and received a bye through the first round.


The [[2026 IDF World Darts Championship|2026 championship]] introduced an expanded 128-player format in which every player, including the 32 seeded competitors, entered in the first round. Following a review of the tournament schedule, the IDF elected to restore a 96-player field for the 2027 championship.
The remaining 64 players contested 32 first-round matches. Each first-round match was tied to a predetermined position in the second-round bracket, with the winner progressing directly to face one of the 32 seeds.


Under the revised system, the top 32 players on the IDF Order of Merit will receive automatic entry into the second round. The remaining 64 places will be divided equally between the IDF Tour Order of Merit and international, regional and development qualification routes.
From the second round onwards, the championship operated as a conventional 64-player knockout tournament.


Defending champion {{PDCFlag|Logan White}} will enter the tournament as the number one seed. {{PDCFlag|Alex Brow}} will be seeded second, while 2026 runner-up {{PDCFlag|Max Mad}} will enter as the third seed.
All matches were played using set play. Every set was contested over the best of five legs, with the first player to win three legs winning the set.


=== Format ===
There was no extended tie-break within a set. If a set reached two legs apiece, the fifth leg decided the set.


All matches will be played using the traditional 501 scoring format. Players must reduce their score from 501 to exactly zero, with the winning dart required to land in a double segment or the bullseye.
The match lengths were:


Matches will be contested in [[Set (darts)|sets]]. Each set will be played as the best of five legs, meaning the first player to win three legs will win the set.
* First round: best of 5 sets – first to 3
* Second round: best of 5 sets – first to 3
* Third round: best of 7 sets – first to 4
* Fourth round: best of 7 sets – first to 4
* Quarter-finals: best of 9 sets – first to 5
* Semi-finals: best of 11 sets – first to 6
* Final: best of 15 sets – first to 8


The 32 seeded players will receive byes into the second round. The 32 IDF Tour qualifiers and 32 international or development qualifiers will begin in the first round. Each first-round match will feature one IDF Tour qualifier and one international or development qualifier.
The 2027 final was extended to a possible 15 sets, compared with the best-of-13-set final used in 2026.


The first and second rounds will be played as the best of five sets. The third and fourth rounds will be played as the best of seven sets. Match lengths will increase to the best of nine sets in the quarter-finals, the best of eleven sets in the semi-finals and the best of thirteen sets in the final.
The player throwing first in the opening set was determined by the pre-match bull, with the right to throw first alternating at the beginning of each subsequent set.


In the deciding set of every match after the first round, a player must win by two clear legs. If the deciding set reaches 5–5, a sudden-death leg will be played. There will be no additional throw for the bull before the sudden-death leg.

=== Ranking ===
All prize money counted towards the IDF Order of Merit.


The IDF Order of Merit is calculated using prize money earned in ranking tournaments over a two-year period. Prize money remains on a player's ranking for 104 weeks before being removed.
===Qualification===
Qualification was divided between the IDF Order of Merit, the IDF ProTour, international qualifying routes and the final World Championship qualifier.


Players who competed in the [[2025 IDF World Darts Championship]] will therefore be defending the prize money earned at that tournament. Following the completion of the 2027 championship, prize money earned during the 2027 event will be added to the rankings and prize money from the 2025 championship will be removed.
The top 32 players on the Order of Merit qualified as seeds and entered in the second round.


The top 64 players on the IDF Order of Merit following the tournament will receive a one-year extension to their IDF Tour Cards. Players who earned two-year Tour Cards during the 2026 season will enter the second year of those cards in 2027.
The next 32 highest-ranked eligible players qualified as unseeded Order of Merit players.


Players in the final year of their Tour Card who finish outside the top 64 will lose their professional status unless they otherwise qualify for a new card. Their ranking totals will subsequently be reset to $0. The same rule will apply to non-Tour Card holders who earned ranking prize money through open qualification.
A further 16 players qualified through the IDF ProTour, eight through international qualification events and eight through the final World Championship qualifier.

Van Dijk averaged 112.36 to Sanders's 111.08 and reached his second major final in less than two months.
 
Brow and Mad then contested an 11-set semi-final. Brow led 3–1 and 4–2 before Mad recovered to 4–4. Brow moved 5–4 ahead, but Mad won the tenth set and then moved 2–1 ahead in the deciding set. Brow forced a final leg and punished two missed match darts from Mad by checking out 81 to win 6–5. Brow averaged 113.18 to Mad's 112.64, with the pair combining for 52 maximums.
 
===Final===
The final on 3 January was contested between Brow and Van Dijk in a rematch of the 2026 Grand Slam final, which Brow had won 16–13. Brow entered the match on an 18-match winning streak across the Grand Slam, Players Championship Finals and World Championship. Both finalists had increased their match average in every round of the championship, with Brow reaching 113.18 in the semi-finals and Van Dijk reaching 112.36.
 
Van Dijk made the faster start, taking the opening set 3–1 after Brow missed double 16 for a 104 checkout. Van Dijk doubled his advantage by taking the second 3–2. Brow had led the set 2–1 in legs, but Van Dijk levelled with an 11-darter before finishing 121 on the bullseye in the deciding leg to move 2–0 ahead in sets.
 
Brow responded by sweeping the third set 3–0 with legs of 11, 12 and 12 darts. Van Dijk restored his two-set advantage by taking the fourth 3–2. Brow missed double 12 for a 144 checkout in the deciding leg and Van Dijk punished the miss by finishing 116 to establish a 3–1 lead.
 
The fifth set produced the first major swing of the final. Van Dijk moved 2–0 ahead in legs and had two darts at double 16 to move 4–1 ahead in sets. Brow survived and produced consecutive 11-darters to level the set before completing a 124 checkout on the bullseye in the deciding leg to reduce his deficit to 3–2.
 
Brow levelled the final by taking the sixth set 3–1. He opened with a 12-darter and, after Van Dijk held throw in 13, Brow produced consecutive 11-dart legs. Brow then moved ahead for the first time by winning the seventh set 3–2. Van Dijk missed one dart at double 18 in the deciding leg before Brow finished 81 through treble 19 and double 12 to establish a 4–3 lead.
 
Van Dijk immediately responded in the eighth set. He opened with consecutive 12-darters before Brow won the third leg in 11. Van Dijk completed 104 in the fourth leg to take the set 3–1 and level the final at 4–4.
 
The ninth set became one of the highest-quality periods of the final. Brow opened its first leg with consecutive 180s and hit treble 20 with his seventh dart to continue a nine-dart attempt. His eighth dart missed treble 19, and he completed the leg in ten darts. Van Dijk responded with an 11-darter before Brow held in 12. Van Dijk levelled in 13 darts, but Brow completed 132 on the bullseye in the deciding leg to regain the lead at 5–4.
 
Van Dijk won the tenth set 3–2, surviving a set dart from Brow at double 16 before finishing 84. Brow then took the eleventh 3–1, including finishes of 116 and 121, to lead 6–5.
 
Van Dijk produced one of his strongest sets of the match in the twelfth. He won it 3–0 with legs of 11, 12 and 11 darts and averaged above 125 across the set. Van Dijk then moved ahead again by taking the thirteenth 3–2. Brow led 2–1 in legs, but Van Dijk levelled in 12 darts before finishing 104 in the deciding leg to lead the final 7–6 and move within one set of the title.
 
Brow was therefore required to win both remaining sets to become champion. He opened the fourteenth set with an 11-darter before Van Dijk replied with a 12-dart leg. Brow moved 2–1 ahead with a 13-darter, but Van Dijk forced a deciding leg by holding throw in 11 darts.
 
Van Dijk was first to a finish in the fifth leg, leaving 84 after 12 darts, while Brow sat on 81. Van Dijk hit treble 20 but missed double 12 and double six for the championship. Brow immediately punished the misses, finishing 81 in two darts through treble 19 and double 12 to win the set 3–2 and force a fifteenth and deciding set.
 
Brow held the opening leg of the final set in 12 darts before Van Dijk levelled in 11. Van Dijk then broke Brow in 13 darts, leaving him one leg from his first World Championship title. Brow responded under pressure with an 11-dart break of his own to make the deciding set 2–2 and send the championship to one final leg.
 
Both players opened the final leg with 180s. Brow followed with 140, while Van Dijk replied with 137. Brow added 140 to leave 41 after nine darts, with Van Dijk scoring 180 to leave four after nine.
 
Brow therefore had the first opportunity for the title. He hit nine with his tenth dart before missing double 16. Van Dijk returned on double two with three darts for the championship but missed inside with his first dart, missed double one with his second and bust his score with the third.
 
Brow returned on 32 and hit double 16 with his first dart to win the final 8–7 and secure his second IDF World Championship.
 
Brow averaged 113.74, the highest average of the championship, while Van Dijk averaged 112.91. The pair combined for 61 maximums, with Brow hitting 32 and Van Dijk 29. Brow had therefore increased his match average in every round of the tournament, recording 110.64, 111.38, 112.06, 112.44, 113.18 and 113.74.
 
The victory gave Brow his second World Championship title following his victory in 2025. He also became the first player in IDF history to win the Grand Slam, Players Championship Finals and World Championship consecutively, finishing the three-event run with 19 consecutive match victories.
 
Van Dijk finished runner-up at a second major in less than two months, having also lost to Brow in the Grand Slam final. His World Championship run included victories over defending champion White, Walker and Sanders, while his average increased from 108.92 in the second round to 112.91 in the final.

The 2027 IDF World Darts Championship was a professional darts tournament organised by the International Darts Federation (IDF), held from 12 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 at Alexandra Palace in London, England.

Alex Brow won the championship, defeating Jeroen van Dijk 8–7 in the final. It was Brow's second World Championship title, having previously won the 2025 edition. His victory also completed a run of three consecutive major titles following victories at the 2026 Grand Slam and 2026 Players Championship Finals. Brow finished the tournament on a 19-match winning streak across the three events.

Logan White entered as the defending champion, having defeated Max Mad 7–6 in the 2026 final. White's title defence ended in the quarter-finals when he was defeated 5–4 by Van Dijk.

Mad recorded the tournament's only nine-dart finish during his second-round victory over Kieran Walsh. Leon Price recorded the highest checkout with a maximum 170 finish against Nathan Owens.

Background[edit | edit source]

Format[edit | edit source]

The 2027 championship featured 96 players, a reduction from the 128-player field used at the 2026 tournament.

The top 32 players on the IDF Order of Merit following the 2026 IDF Players Championship Finals were seeded and received a bye through the first round.

The remaining 64 players contested 32 first-round matches. Each first-round match was tied to a predetermined position in the second-round bracket, with the winner progressing directly to face one of the 32 seeds.

From the second round onwards, the championship operated as a conventional 64-player knockout tournament.

All matches were played using set play. Every set was contested over the best of five legs, with the first player to win three legs winning the set.

There was no extended tie-break within a set. If a set reached two legs apiece, the fifth leg decided the set.

The match lengths were:

  • First round: best of 5 sets – first to 3
  • Second round: best of 5 sets – first to 3
  • Third round: best of 7 sets – first to 4
  • Fourth round: best of 7 sets – first to 4
  • Quarter-finals: best of 9 sets – first to 5
  • Semi-finals: best of 11 sets – first to 6
  • Final: best of 15 sets – first to 8

The 2027 final was extended to a possible 15 sets, compared with the best-of-13-set final used in 2026.

The player throwing first in the opening set was determined by the pre-match bull, with the right to throw first alternating at the beginning of each subsequent set.

Semi-finals[edit | edit source]

Brow and Mad then contested an 11-set semi-final. Brow led 3–1 and 4–2 before Mad recovered to 4–4. Brow moved 5–4 ahead, but Mad won the tenth set and then moved 2–1 ahead in the deciding set. Brow forced a final leg and punished two missed match darts from Mad by checking out 81 to win 6–5. Brow averaged 113.18 to Mad's 112.64, with the pair combining for 52 maximums.

Final[edit | edit source]

The final on 3 January was contested between Brow and Van Dijk in a rematch of the 2026 Grand Slam final, which Brow had won 16–13. Brow entered the match on an 18-match winning streak across the Grand Slam, Players Championship Finals and World Championship. Both finalists had increased their match average in every round of the championship, with Brow reaching 113.18 in the semi-finals and Van Dijk reaching 112.36.

Van Dijk made the faster start, taking the opening set 3–1 after Brow missed double 16 for a 104 checkout. Van Dijk doubled his advantage by taking the second 3–2. Brow had led the set 2–1 in legs, but Van Dijk levelled with an 11-darter before finishing 121 on the bullseye in the deciding leg to move 2–0 ahead in sets.

Brow responded by sweeping the third set 3–0 with legs of 11, 12 and 12 darts. Van Dijk restored his two-set advantage by taking the fourth 3–2. Brow missed double 12 for a 144 checkout in the deciding leg and Van Dijk punished the miss by finishing 116 to establish a 3–1 lead.

The fifth set produced the first major swing of the final. Van Dijk moved 2–0 ahead in legs and had two darts at double 16 to move 4–1 ahead in sets. Brow survived and produced consecutive 11-darters to level the set before completing a 124 checkout on the bullseye in the deciding leg to reduce his deficit to 3–2.

Brow levelled the final by taking the sixth set 3–1. He opened with a 12-darter and, after Van Dijk held throw in 13, Brow produced consecutive 11-dart legs. Brow then moved ahead for the first time by winning the seventh set 3–2. Van Dijk missed one dart at double 18 in the deciding leg before Brow finished 81 through treble 19 and double 12 to establish a 4–3 lead.

Van Dijk immediately responded in the eighth set. He opened with consecutive 12-darters before Brow won the third leg in 11. Van Dijk completed 104 in the fourth leg to take the set 3–1 and level the final at 4–4.

The ninth set became one of the highest-quality periods of the final. Brow opened its first leg with consecutive 180s and hit treble 20 with his seventh dart to continue a nine-dart attempt. His eighth dart missed treble 19, and he completed the leg in ten darts. Van Dijk responded with an 11-darter before Brow held in 12. Van Dijk levelled in 13 darts, but Brow completed 132 on the bullseye in the deciding leg to regain the lead at 5–4.

Van Dijk won the tenth set 3–2, surviving a set dart from Brow at double 16 before finishing 84. Brow then took the eleventh 3–1, including finishes of 116 and 121, to lead 6–5.

Van Dijk produced one of his strongest sets of the match in the twelfth. He won it 3–0 with legs of 11, 12 and 11 darts and averaged above 125 across the set. Van Dijk then moved ahead again by taking the thirteenth 3–2. Brow led 2–1 in legs, but Van Dijk levelled in 12 darts before finishing 104 in the deciding leg to lead the final 7–6 and move within one set of the title.

Brow was therefore required to win both remaining sets to become champion. He opened the fourteenth set with an 11-darter before Van Dijk replied with a 12-dart leg. Brow moved 2–1 ahead with a 13-darter, but Van Dijk forced a deciding leg by holding throw in 11 darts.

Van Dijk was first to a finish in the fifth leg, leaving 84 after 12 darts, while Brow sat on 81. Van Dijk hit treble 20 but missed double 12 and double six for the championship. Brow immediately punished the misses, finishing 81 in two darts through treble 19 and double 12 to win the set 3–2 and force a fifteenth and deciding set.

Brow held the opening leg of the final set in 12 darts before Van Dijk levelled in 11. Van Dijk then broke Brow in 13 darts, leaving him one leg from his first World Championship title. Brow responded under pressure with an 11-dart break of his own to make the deciding set 2–2 and send the championship to one final leg.

Both players opened the final leg with 180s. Brow followed with 140, while Van Dijk replied with 137. Brow added 140 to leave 41 after nine darts, with Van Dijk scoring 180 to leave four after nine.

Brow therefore had the first opportunity for the title. He hit nine with his tenth dart before missing double 16. Van Dijk returned on double two with three darts for the championship but missed inside with his first dart, missed double one with his second and bust his score with the third.

Brow returned on 32 and hit double 16 with his first dart to win the final 8–7 and secure his second IDF World Championship.

Brow averaged 113.74, the highest average of the championship, while Van Dijk averaged 112.91. The pair combined for 61 maximums, with Brow hitting 32 and Van Dijk 29. Brow had therefore increased his match average in every round of the tournament, recording 110.64, 111.38, 112.06, 112.44, 113.18 and 113.74.

The victory gave Brow his second World Championship title following his victory in 2025. He also became the first player in IDF history to win the Grand Slam, Players Championship Finals and World Championship consecutively, finishing the three-event run with 19 consecutive match victories.

Van Dijk finished runner-up at a second major in less than two months, having also lost to Brow in the Grand Slam final. His World Championship run included victories over defending champion White, Walker and Sanders, while his average increased from 108.92 in the second round to 112.91 in the final.

Champion[edit | edit source]

Brow won his second World Championship, adding the 2027 title to his victory in 2025.

He began the tournament with a 110.64 average against Tanaka and increased his match average in every subsequent round. He averaged 111.38 against Van der Meer, 112.06 against Kai Mitchell, 112.44 against MacLeod, 113.18 against Mad and 113.74 against Van Dijk in the final.

Brow survived deciding sets against Mitchell and MacLeod before defeating Mad 6–5 in an 11-set semi-final. The final against Van Dijk also required the maximum number of sets, with Brow recovering from 7–6 down to win the final two sets and take the title.

His victory was his third consecutive major title following the Grand Slam and Players Championship Finals and extended his winning streak across those three events to 19 matches.

Defending champion[edit | edit source]

White's defence of the World Championship ended in the quarter-finals after a 5–4 defeat to Van Dijk.

White led 1–0, 2–1, 3–2 and 4–3 in sets but was unable to establish a two-set advantage. Van Dijk won the eighth set to force a decider and survived a missed match opportunity from White in the deciding leg before finishing double six.

White averaged 111.41 in defeat and finished the tournament having averaged 109.84, 111.12, 111.76 and 111.41 across his four matches.

Notable performances[edit | edit source]

Brow recorded the three highest averages of his campaign in the quarter-final, semi-final and final, culminating in the tournament-high 113.74 against Van Dijk.

Brow's six match averages were 110.64, 111.38, 112.06, 112.44, 113.18 and 113.74, meaning his average increased in every round.

Van Dijk also increased his average in every round, recording 108.92, 109.37, 110.41, 111.98, 112.36 and 112.91. His run included victories over Walker, defending champion White and Sanders before losing to Brow in the final.

Mad reached the semi-finals for a second consecutive year and recorded the only nine-dart finish of the championship. He averaged 112.64 in his 6–5 semi-final defeat to Brow.

Sanders reached his first World Championship semi-final and recorded four consecutive averages above 110 from the third round onwards.

MacLeod averaged 111.31 in his quarter-final defeat to Brow, while White averaged 111.41 in defeat to Van Dijk.

Smit reached the fourth round after eliminating Hofer and Thomas, while Park became the first South Korean player to reach the third round of an IDF World Championship.
