Final The schedule of play is subject to change at the discretion of the PDC and Sky Sports. Times of matches listed above is approximate and for guidance only.

Format

Preliminary Round - Best of Seven Legs (no tie-break)
First Round - Best of Five Sets
Second Round - Best of Seven Sets
Third Round - Best of Seven Sets
Quarter-Finals - Best of Nine Sets
Semi-Finals - Best of 11 Sets
Final - Best of 13 Sets All Sets are the best of five legs. For all matches using the Sets format, there will be a tie-break in the deciding set only, where the final set must be won by two clear legs until the score in that set reaches 5-5. Should that situation occur, then a sudden-death leg will be played, before which the players will throw first for the bull to determine who throws first in the sudden-death leg.
