Going to the darts at Ally Pally.
The World Darts Championship is back at Alexandra Palace in north London from Friday 11 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027. This year it moves into the Great Hall for the first time, with room for over 5,000 people a session. Here is what to know before you go.
Session times
There are 36 sessions over the three and a half weeks. Most afternoon sessions start at 12:30 and most evening sessions at 7pm. Every session, with the matches and the TV channel, is on the darts on TV page as the tournament goes on, and the draw and bracket are on the World Championship 2027 page.
Tickets and prices
For the first time, tickets this year were sold by ballot: PDCTV members could apply from 1 to 7 September and everyone else from 8 to 14 September, for up to six tickets for each of up to two sessions. Results went out by email in September.
| Ticket | Face value |
|---|---|
| Tiered seating | From £55 |
| Table seating | From £75 |
| 501 Club hospitality | From £399 |
The tiered seating is new for the Great Hall, with wider seats, more legroom and a cup holder on every seat. If you cannot use a ticket, it can only be resold through See Tickets' official Fan-to-Fan resale; tickets bought on other resale sites can be cancelled. Our darts tickets guide lists the official outlets for every PDC event.
Accessible tickets come with one free ticket for a carer where you need one.
Getting there
Alexandra Palace is on Alexandra Palace Way, London N22 7AY, on a hill above Wood Green. The Great Hall is reached through the Palm Court entrance on the west side.
By train
Alexandra Palace station is by the park's Wood Green entrance. Great Northern trains run direct from Moorgate (four an hour) and King's Cross (two an hour), and the Palace is up the hill from the station.
By Tube and bus
The nearest Tube is Wood Green on the Piccadilly line, about 20 minutes from Piccadilly Circus. From there, or from Finsbury Park, the W3 bus runs up to the Palace and stops at Palm Court.
By car
All the car parks charge, with the first 30 minutes free. Blue Badge holders park free in East Court, first come first served, and there is a drop-off point outside the Palm Court entrance. Opening hours change on event days.
