The best darts players in the world battle it out for the Sid Waddell Trophy.

The annual World Darts Championship returns for its end-of-year event. The 2022/23 edition of the competition takes place between 16 December 2022 and 4 January 2023 AEDT at Alexandra Palace in London.

Peter Wright is the reigning champion, beating Michael Smith in the last World Darts Championship. Both are back for the 2022/23 tournament, alongside other big names such as world number 1 Gerwyn Price and 5-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld.

Three-time champion Michael van Gerwen is also hoping to continue his stellar year that has already seen him win other big tournaments such as the Premier League, World Matchplay and World Grand Prix.

There are some Aussies among the 96 players participating as well, with Raymond Smith, Mal Cuming and Simon Whitlock all taking part in the first round. Meanwhile, Damon Heta is seeded 20th, so he starts directly in the second round.

You can watch the whole thing live on TV or via the internet.
