The tournament will take place in the legendary Winter Gardens in Blackpool and 2024 will be the 31st edition of the matchplay, the ballroom where some of the most legendary darts moments have taken place.

The darts calendar is in full swing and the World Matchplay is the second major of the season after the UK Open, which Dimitri Van den Bergh won with an 11-10 victory over world champion Luke Humphries.

The World Matchplay is a legs format, with the number of legs required to win increasing from round to round.

Each match must be won by two clear legs unless the score is tied after six additional legs.

• Round 1: First to 10 legs (sudden death at 12-12)

Who are the winners so far?

The World Matchplay has a long list of outstanding winners, with Aspinall entering the 2024 tournament as defending champion.

The first winner was Larry Butler in 1994, before Phil Taylor took his first win of 16 (yes, 16) in 1995.

Taylor also won the Matchplays in 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2017.

In his 2002 victory, Taylor also threw the first televised nine-darter and due to his dominance, the trophy was renamed after him in 2018.

Other winners include Michael van Gerwen (2015, 2016 and 2022), Gary Anderson (2018), Rob Cross (2019), Dimitri Van den Bergh (2020) and Peter Wright (2021).
