Viaplay becomes the UK home of the Professional Darts Corporation's European Tour under a new five-year deal.

Viaplay has picked up the UK rights to the PDC's (Professional Darts Corporation) European Tour under a new five-year deal.

The agreement, which kicks off with the new season in February 2023, covers all 13 events on the Tour and represents around 312 hours of live coverage every year.

Peter Norrelund, chief sports officer at Viaplay, said: "The PDC European Tour showcases darts' ongoing global growth. Becoming the home of this exciting series in the birthplace of the sport is a further sign of Viaplay's UK ambitions.

"The UK has darts at heart and this deal will make our service even more attractive to local viewers."

Viaplay launched in the UK on November 1 following the Scandinavian streamer's takeover of Premier Sports.

The broadcaster has also acquired PDC rights in the Netherlands, Poland and all Nordic and Baltic countries.
