New Year with darts: quarter-final night of the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace

At the very beginning of 2026, on January 1st at 19:30, London and the iconic Alexandra Palace transform into the world's biggest stage for darts, and the quarter-final evening session of the World Darts Championship 2025/26 becomes one of the most sought-after sporting events of that day. This is part of the prestigious World Darts Championship 2025, which in its current edition brings together 128 players from all over the world, with a record prize structure and exceptional global interest. A ticket for this event is valid for one day, specifically for the entire evening session on January 1st, so with one arrival, you can follow two top-tier matches in which the remaining elite of the tournament hunt for a place in the semi-finals. The atmosphere at Alexandra Palace, also known as Ally Pally, has for years been synonymous with costumes, fan singing, and the perfect combination of entertainment and top professional sport, which is exactly why the demand for tickets is enormous every season. If you want to start the year with the most famous stars of darts and experience the tournament first-hand, secure your tickets for this event as soon as possible and prepare for an evening you will remember for a long time. Of course, the key step is the timely purchase of tickets and a click on the button below to confirm your place among the thousands of fans in the hall.

World Darts Championship as a global phenomenon

The World Darts Championship organized by the PDC has grown in recent years from a niche event into a global phenomenon that fills arenas and television slots throughout Europe and the world, and the current 2025/26 edition has further raised the bar. This season, the tournament takes place from December 11, 2025, to January 3, 2026, with an expanded field of 128 players and a record prize fund of as much as 5 million pounds, of which 1 million pounds belongs to the winner. This figure clearly shows how much darts has progressed, both professionally and commercially, and why the interest in tickets for the final stages, including the quarter-final night on January 1st, is greater than ever. Each day brings two sessions, with a gradual increase in the number of sets, and the quarter-finals are part of the final part of the program in which only the top eight remain, emphasizing the importance of every triple hit and every double missed. For the spectators in the hall, this means three weeks of continuous fun and adrenaline, and for those who managed to get tickets for the quarter-finals – a chance to follow live the crucial moments of the fight for the title of world darts champion.

Luke Littler and the new star generation of world darts

In the center of attention this season is Luke Littler, an exceptionally talented English teenager who at the beginning of 2025 at Alexandra Palace became the youngest world champion in the history of darts, defeating the legendary Michael van Gerwen in the final and forever changing the perception of this sport. His rise, from a sensational debutant to the defending champion at the World Darts Championship 2025/26, brought a completely new energy to the tournament and attracted a younger audience, but also further increased interest in tickets, especially in the final stages when it is expected that he, together with names like Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Stephen Bunting, and others, will lead the way. The quarter-final evening on January 1st is designed as the culmination of a multi-day struggle, with two matches in an extended format, where the remaining trophy candidates will step out onto the oche – the exact pairings will be dictated by the results of previous rounds, but it is clear that only the biggest names of the tournament will be on the schedule. Thus, one ticket becomes your ticket to two top-tier stories in one evening, while every leg can mean a turning point in a player's career on the stage. That is exactly why tickets for this evening session attract huge interest and it is smart to buy tickets via the button below as soon as you decide on a trip to London, to avoid disappointment.

Quarter-final night January 1, 2026: the dramaturgy of the finale

According to the tournament schedule, January 1st is reserved for the quarter-finals, with two matches each in the afternoon and evening sessions, and the evening slot at 19:30 brings the best of the Alexandra Palace atmosphere – fans arrive rested after the holidays, the stands are full of costumes, songs, and flags, and players who have already survived several grueling rounds take the stage. In the quarter-finals, matches are played to a higher number of sets than in the early rounds, which leaves room for comebacks, series of maximum 180s, and long-lasting psychological duels in which every miss can change the course of the match. Spectators with a ticket for this session get the full sports package: from spectacular player entries with loud music, through the heated atmosphere in the crowded hall, to dramatic leg finishes in the late evening hours. Tickets for this event are particularly sought after because the combination of New Year and elite sports competition offers an experience that cannot be experienced in front of the television – if you are in the hall, you will feel every rustle of the crowd and every moment of silence before the shot for the winning double. That is why it is quite justified to say that the quarter-final evening is the perfect reason to start planning your trip, ticket purchase, and all the details of your stay in London right now.

Alexandra Palace – the legendary Ally Pally as the home of world darts

Alexandra Palace, located on a hill between Wood Green and Muswell Hill in North London, is a hall with a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when it was conceived as a "people's palace" for the entertainment and education of citizens. After a major fire shortly after opening, the palace was rebuilt and over time has hosted everything from exhibitions and concerts to ice rinks and BBC's pioneering television broadcasts, and today for darts fans, it is synonymous with the World Darts Championship. The Great Hall, with a capacity of more than 10,000 spectators, becomes the center of world darts every winter, with a recognizable stage, tables in arena layout, and stands that shake from fan singing. From the spacious park around the palace, there is an impressive view of the London skyline, which is an additional reason for visitors to combine a sporting event with sightseeing. If you are planning a few days in the British capital, be sure to explore various accommodation options near the venue, to more easily coordinate your arrival at the match and enjoyment of the city. With tickets in your pocket and accommodation resolved in advance, you can fully surrender to the experience of Ally Pally as one of the most special sports temples in Europe.

London and the north of the city: more than just a match

Coming to the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace is an opportunity to get to know the wider context of North London, the neighborhoods surrounding the palace, and the city itself in its holiday edition. In the vicinity, there are the vibrant streets of Wood Green and Muswell Hill, with numerous pubs, restaurants, and shops where you can spend time before or after the session, and the palace itself often offers additional content such as an ice rink or seasonal events. Given that the quarter-final evening is played on January 1st, many visitors combine New Year's Eve in central London with going to the darts the day after, which creates a special travel rhythm and additional motivation to plan the trip and buy tickets on time. If you wish to stay for a few days, it is recommended to check accommodation offers in London in advance, because the period around New Year brings higher occupancy of hotels and apartments. In combination with a ticket for the World Darts Championship, such a trip easily becomes the perfect winter city break for all fans of sports and big cities.

Arrival at the hall and practical tips for visitors

Alexandra Palace is well connected with the rest of London, which is a big advantage for everyone planning a trip to the quarter-final night on January 1, 2026. Visitors can choose between the train to Alexandra Palace station, the underground to Wood Green, and the W3 bus line that connects the underground station with the hall, while for those coming by car, a large eastern parking lot is provided for visitors with tickets. The doors of the hall for evening sessions usually open about ninety minutes before the start, so it is smart to arrive earlier, avoid the crowds at the entrance, find a table or seat, and settle in before the players' walk-on. Children are allowed entry, but those under 18 must be accompanied by adults, and for family groups, there is also a quieter family sector, which is important to plan when choosing tickets. In most cases, tickets are issued in digital form, so it is recommended that you download them in advance and prepare them on your mobile phone for scanning at the entrance, with enough battery and preferably a backup copy on another device. To make everything go without stress, it is good to plan both the trip and the ticket purchase now, because ticket sales are available, and with one click on the button below you can secure your place at one of the most attractive sports evenings at the beginning of the year.

Tickets, sectors and unforgettable atmosphere in the hall

Tickets for the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace are divided by sectors corresponding to different types of audience – from tables closest to the stage, where costumes, songs, and continuous cheering dominate, to higher sectors and family zones where the game can be followed in a slightly quieter environment. Regardless of the sector, the common denominator is – visibility is excellent, large screens follow every detail of the match, and the sound system and lighting effects turn the hall into a kind of sports theater. Many visitors come in themed costumes, with banners and flags, so the evening often turns into a spontaneous carnival, especially when the biggest stars like Luke Littler or Michael van Gerwen take the stage. Due to such popularity, tickets for the quarter-finals on January 1st are usually among the most sought after, so it is no wonder that fans plan trips and vacations adapted to the date of this event. If you want to be part of that story, tickets for this event disappear quickly, so buy tickets on time via the button below and do not wait for the last moment, because once the hall is filled, all that remains is to watch the spectacle on the screen and imagine the atmosphere live.

Tournament format and the importance of the quarter-finals on the path to the trophy

This season's edition of the World Darts Championship 2025/26 has also brought important changes in the format: all 128 players start from the first round, so from the very beginning, the competition is extremely dense, with a large number of matches and potential surprises. Through seven rounds – from the initial rounds, through the third and fourth rounds, to the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals – the most consistent ones break through, those who can combine high averages, safety on the doubles, and mental stability in front of a large crowd. The quarter-finals thus represent the boundary between a wider circle of candidates and the actual elite of the tournament: here we already see players who have proven they can win even in long matches, often after trailing or under pressure from fans rooting for the favorite. Every ticket for the quarter-final evening session is therefore also a kind of ticket to the finale of the story – spectators witness the moment in which the semi-final pairs are shaped and in which a new star is sometimes born. The stake is huge: the world champion trophy, a huge cash prize, and a place in the history of the sport, which is why the atmosphere in the hall in the quarter-finals is often just as intense as in the final itself.

Tips for fans from Croatia and the region

For visitors coming from Croatia or neighboring countries, planning a trip to London for the quarter-final night on January 1, 2026, requires a little extra organization, but the reward is truly worth the effort. Flights to London airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton) around the holidays can be more expensive and fill up faster, so it is recommended to handle event tickets and plane tickets in parallel as soon as you make a decision about the trip. Upon arrival in the city, public transport is well organized, and you can use most underground lines, trains, and buses contactlessly, with a bank card or appropriate public transport cards. Given that January in London is usually cold and damp, a practical part of the preparation is also important – layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable footwear will help you enjoy the walk to the hall before and after the match. To make planning easier for yourself, it is useful to check accommodation for event visitors in advance in parts of the city that have a good connection to Alexandra Palace, such as zones along the Piccadilly and Victoria lines or areas with direct trains to the hall. When you combine all that with a ticket valid for the entire evening session, you get the perfect sports-travel arrangement for the start of the year.

Media spectacle and the growth of darts' popularity

The World Darts Championship has for years been one of the most followed winter-holiday sporting events on television and streaming platforms, and the current edition has further amplified interest thanks to new star names and a record prize fund. Broadcasts from Alexandra Palace are aired on specialized sports channels and in numerous countries, and social networks are full of clips of the most attractive leg finishes, crowd reactions, and short interviews with players. Despite this, everyone who has sat at a table in the hall at least once claims that television simply cannot convey the feeling of noise when a player hits a third consecutive 180 or when fans unite in song a few moments before a deciding throw. That is exactly why tickets for this event, especially for the final stages like the quarter-final night on January 1st, have become a kind of ticket to a "cultural phenomenon" – not just a sporting but also a social event attended by fans from all over the world, in the jerseys of their favorite clubs, national teams, or in completely crazy costumes. If you love sports, the atmosphere of big arenas, and the holiday mood, it's hard to imagine a better way to combine all that in one day than by visiting this tournament.

Why evening darts on New Year's Day is the perfect start to 2026

Many fans today plan their New Year's Eve around the dates of the World Darts Championship, so they don't experience January 1st as a day of rest, but as a continuation of the celebration in the hall where the most important tournament in the sport they love is played. The evening quarter-final session fits perfectly into that rhythm: you can spend the day in a relaxed walk through London, walking along the Thames or visiting some of the famous landmarks, and then head towards Alexandra Palace and dive into the sea of costumes, songs, and fan slogans. A ticket valid for one day gives you unhindered entry into the hall, the chance to try the food and drink offer, and to wait for the start of the first match of the evening without rushing. While the players search for the perfect rhythm on the oche in the fight for the semi-finals, you will, in the company of thousands of fans from the stands, watch new chapters of darts history being born. If you are attracted by the idea of spending the first evening of 2026 in the company of the best players in the world and fans from all over Europe, secure your tickets for this event immediately – buying tickets via the button below is the first step towards an unforgettable sporting New Year's story, and the second is choosing the ideal accommodation and travel plan that will make your stay in London complete.Sources:
