World Darts Championship 2023/24 TV channel and live stream in Canada
Although darts has grown in popularity over recent times in Canada – especially with the help of former Canadian world champion John Part, who has previously commentated on the event – no TV channel will be showing the action live in the country for the 2023/24 tournament.
That will come as a blow for those who want to catch all of the action at dart's premier tournament but instead, fans can watch online in Canada.
That's because sports streaming platform DAZN will be showing the World Darts Championship in the country in its entirety from start to finish. DAZN costs $24.99 per month or $199.99 annually in Canada as of December 2023.
