The 2027 IDF World Darts Championship is a professional darts tournament organised by the International Darts Federation (IDF), being held from 12 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 at Alexandra Palace in London, England.
Logan White is the defending champion, having defeated Max Mad 7–6 in the 2026 final.
The tournament features 96 players, reduced from the 128-player field used in 2026. The top 32 players on the IDF Order of Merit were seeded and entered in the second round, while the remaining 64 players contested the first round for the right to join them in the 64-player main bracket.
Mad recorded the first nine-dart finish of the tournament during his second-round victory over Kieran Walsh. Leon Price holds the highest checkout with a maximum 170 finish against Nathan Owens.
Background
Format
The 2027 championship features 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 operates as a conventional 64-player knockout tournament.
All matches are played using set play. Every set is contested over the best of five legs, with the first player to win three legs winning the set.
There is no extended tie-break within a set. If a set reaches two legs apiece, the fifth leg decides the set.
The match lengths are:
- 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 has therefore been 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 is determined by the pre-match bull, with the right to throw first alternating at the beginning of each subsequent set.

The deciding leg became one of the highest-quality legs of the championship. Van Dijk opened with 180 and Walker replied with 140. Van Dijk followed with 140 and Walker answered with 180. After 12 darts Van Dijk left 81, while Walker reached 76. Van Dijk hit treble 19 but missed double 12 for the match.

Fourth seed Parker Reeves then met Owens. Reeves opened by taking the first set 3–2, finishing 120 in its deciding leg after Owens missed one dart at double 18. Owens levelled the match by winning the second 3–1, but Reeves regained control with a 3–0 third set that included legs of 12 and 11 darts.
Owens again responded, taking the fourth set 3–2 after completing a 132 checkout with the bullseye. Reeves produced another dominant set in the fifth, winning it 3–0 with legs of 13, 12 and 11 darts to move within one set of the quarter-finals.
Owens took the opening leg of the sixth set in 14 darts, but Reeves levelled with a 12-darter and broke in 13 darts to move one leg from victory. Owens forced a deciding leg with a 121 checkout on the bullseye. Reeves opened the fifth leg with 180 and followed with 140 before Owens answered with a maximum of his own. Reeves reached 81 after 12 darts and completed the checkout in two darts to seal the match.

Mitchell regained the lead by taking the fifth set 3–2 after Sanders missed double 16 for 104. Sanders again responded, winning the sixth 3–1 and forcing the third deciding-set match of the session.
Mitchell opened the seventh set with a 12-darter and Sanders levelled in 11. Mitchell moved 2–1 ahead with a 13-darter, leaving him one leg from the quarter-finals. Sanders then produced a 164 checkout, hitting treble 20, treble 18 and the bullseye to force a deciding leg.
Sanders opened the final leg with 180, while Mitchell answered with 140. Sanders followed with 140 and Mitchell replied with 180. Sanders reached 81 after 12 darts and Mitchell left 84. Sanders missed double 12, giving Mitchell a chance at the match. Mitchell hit treble 20 but missed double 12 and double six. Sanders returned to finish double six and complete a 4–3 victory.
Sanders averaged 110.72 to Mitchell's 109.33, with the pair combining for 31 maximums. Mitchell's 109.33 was the second-highest losing average of the championship behind Walker's 109.88 earlier in the session. Sanders advanced to face Reeves in the quarter-finals.
Following Session 17, the first two quarter-finals were confirmed as White against Van Dijk and Parker Reeves against Sanders.
