The 2016/17 William Hill World Darts Championship will take place from 17th December - 2nd January at London's Alexandra Palace.

The world's biggest darts tournament sees a field of 72 players from across the globe competing across 15 days live on Sky Sports - with a record prize fund of £1.65 million on offer this year including an unprecedented £350,000 to the winner, who also claims the coveted Sid Waddell Trophy.

Play in the William Hill World Darts Championship commences on Thursday December 15th, with nine days of play before the Christmas break seeing the preliminary and first rounds completed and the second round begun.

The opening eight sessions will feature one preliminary round game and three first round contests, with play on Wednesday December 21st and Thursday December 22nd seeing four first round games take place.

The second round then begins with six matches split across two sessions on Friday December 23rd to conclude the pre-Christmas action.

Following a three-day Christmas break, the second round continues on Tuesday December 27th and concludes on Wednesday December 28th, when the third round commences.

Thursday December 29th sees the third round conclude across two sessions before Friday December 30th sees the quarter-finals held across two sessions.

The New Year begins with the semi-finals on Sunday January 1st, before the William Hill World Darts Championship concludes on Monday January 2nd with the final.

'We've been amazed by the interest from fans already ahead of the 2016/17 William Hill World Darts Championship, and anticipation is high for what is a special event', said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.

'The tournament was an unprecedented success last year, featuring sell-out crowds and thrilling matches before culminating with Gary Anderson hitting a nine-darter and then going on to retain the title. With standards on the oche continuing to rise this year, competition for places between players fiercer than ever and greater demand from fans, this promises to be a memorable 15 days!'
