World Darts Championship prize money: How much winner and runner-up get
The World Darts Championship final will be contested between Michael Van Gerwen and Luke Littler at Ally Pally.
Not only will the darting stars be going head-to-head for world champion status, but there'll be a lot of cash on the line too.
Both players won their previous games 6-1, brushing aside their semi-final opponents with ease. Van Gerwen defeated Chris Dobey, whilst Littler dispatched Stephen Bunting.

For Littler, it will be his second appearance in the world championship final, after bursting on to the scene in last year's tournament. He lost out to Luke Humphries in the 2024 edition, so will be keen to go one step further this time. For Van Gerwen, he's looking to bag his first WDC title since 2019.
Here's everything you need to know about the prize money on offer.
What's the World Darts Championship prize money?
The winner of the WDC title will take home a staggering £500,000. The runner-up of Friday's showpiece event will bag themselves less than half of that figure - £200,000.

£60,000 goes to Prostate Cancer UK, another £60,000 to a random person in the Ally Pally crowd and the player themselves take home that amount, too. Paddy Power also donated £1,000 to Prostate Cancer UK every time a player hits a 180.
