Who are the Sky Sports commentators for the World Darts Championships 2025?
Wayne Mardle
Wayne Mardle is arguably the most famous of the Sky Sports commentators as not only do you hear his voice, you see his face too.
He was a former player himself and reached the World Championship semi-finals back in 2008, beating Phil Taylor in the quarters to get there.
He started his commentary journey with Sky Sports in 2011, covering the World Champs alongside Sid Waddell and Dave Clarke.
Though he commentates mainly, Mardle also appears as a pundit before and after big events and often shares his thoughts on social media too.
Mark Webster
Mark Webster is also a former professional player and has been a mainstay on the Sky Sports commentary and punditry team over the years.
He’s an expert when it comes to analysing players’ performances and their rankings and often gives thoughtful predictions.
As a player, he won the BDO World Championship in 2008 when he beat Simon Whitlock in an epic final.
Stuart Pyke
Like Studd, Stuart Pyke is also a legendary commentating figure, and is known for his incredibly deep kknopwlekdge of the game.
Pyke is an integral part of the Sky Sports commentary team and has been present for some of the biggest moments in the sport’s history.
Perhaps the most viral of those moments was Michael Smith’s nine-darter in his World Championship final with Michael van Gerwen, made even more famous by ‘I can’t spake!’ Line Wayne Mardle produced while sat alongside Pyke.
Rod Studd
One of THE faces of darts commentary, Rod Studd is a voice darts fans will be quick to recognise.
He has a distinctive voice and even claims in his X bio that he created the ‘Big Fish’, the term used to describe a 170-checkout.
Studd also isn’t shy in giving his opinion, as he also often analyses player performances and offers his insight while he’s commentating.
John Part
The only man to NOT have an accent from these shores on the Sky Sports commentary team, John Part, nicknamed ‘Darth Maple’ is a former Canadian darts player.
He now struts his stuff up and down the UK commentating and doing punditry work on all the major darts tournaments, including the World Champs.
As a player, he’s a three time world champion, having won the BDO world title in 1994, before adding the PDC gongs in 2003 and 2008.
In 2017, Part was inducted into the PDC Hall of Fame.
Laura Turner
Laura Turner has been commentating on the darts for Sky Sports since 2020, when she brought her expert analysis to the World Championships for the first time.
As a player, she competes n WDF (World Darts Federation) events and competed at the World Champs in 2019.
Dan Dawson
Darts fans will also recognise the voice of Dan Dawson, as not only does he do work for Sky Sports, he’s on terrestrial TV as well, often working for ITV whenever they show the arrows.
He’s a regular throughout the World Champs and brings an energetic but incredibly analytical style to his commentary.
