The World Darts Championship will stay at Alexandra Palace until at least 2031 after the PDC agreed a new five-year deal.

The showpiece tournament has been held at the famous north London venue since 2007 but following the rapid growth in the sport, PDC supremo Barry Hearn had raised the prospect of taking it elsewhere.
