Darts has quietly become one of British television's biggest sporting draws — Alexandra Palace sells out every night of the World Darts Championship, and Premier League Darts fills arenas across the country every Thursday from February to May. The catch is that almost all of it sits behind a Sky Sports subscription. Here's what following the PDC properly actually costs in the UK, and how darts IPTV coverage removes the need for a separate contract entirely.
What Watching Darts Properly Costs Right Now
Sky Sports holds the UK broadcast rights to the PDC's biggest events, and there's no way to buy darts coverage on its own — you need a full Sky Sports subscription to get it:
| Option | Typical annual cost | Darts sold separately? |
|---|---|---|
| Sky Sports (all channels) | £240–£360+ a year | ❌ No — full package required |
| Sky Sports + TV package bundle | £400–£600+ a year | ❌ No |
| IPTVUKElite | £49 a year (£4/mo) | ✅ Full PDC calendar included |
Unlike boxing or UFC, darts isn't sold as a one-off pay-per-view — but that's exactly the problem. To watch even a single session of the World Championship, you're committed to an entire Sky Sports subscription running into hundreds of pounds a year, whether or not you ever watch another channel on it.
Every Major PDC Event, Covered
An IPTVUKElite subscription includes the channels carrying the full PDC calendar, so nothing on the darts fixture list is missed:
- PDC World Darts Championship — Alexandra Palace, every session from Round 1 through to the final on New Year's Day.
- Premier League Darts — the weekly Thursday night tour, February through to the Finals in May.
- World Matchplay — the Blackpool "Beach Bums" tournament every July.
- World Grand Prix — the double-start format event held every October.
- European Championship & Grand Slam of Darts — the two biggest events of the autumn calendar.
- Players Championship Finals & European Tour events — the full run of ranking events across the season.
That's the entire PDC year, not just the headline nights — the same breadth of coverage you'd get from a full Sky Sports package, without the contract underneath it.

The Verdict
Darts is one of the few sports where UK broadcasters give you no way to pay for just the bit you want — it's the full Sky Sports package or nothing. An IPTVUKElite subscription sidesteps that entirely: the whole PDC calendar, from Ally Pally in December to the Grand Slam in November, included for £49 a year rather than several hundred. If the World Championship or the next Premier League Darts night is what brought you here, the free trial is the fastest way to check picture quality before committing.
