Sky Sports viewing figures for last night's final peaked at 3.75 million.

Easily more than double the previous record for darts on Sky heading into the tournament (1.65m) for the Taylor v Anderson final in 2015.

Wow.

[oche balboa]

That's really impressive.

Wow.

Phil Lanning reporting 4.8M. Whether 3.8 or 4.8 still a massive number.

Very impressive.

Eddie Hearn clarifying the difference in the reported figures.

[Rogg]

Outrageous.

Meanwhile in Germany, a peak of 2.86m viewers last night on Sport1, beating the previous record of 2.73m during 2018 final.

Is that an overall record for them, or is Gabriel Clemens' quarter/semi last year still ahead of that?

Maybe they really did think that it was Hitler playing

Good question. It's just a new record for a final I think. The Clemens-Smith semi-final is presumably still the overall record for one match as it's miles higher:

Clemens' semi-final tie with Smith was watched by a record-breaking peak of 3.78 million fans on Sport1, an all-time record for darts on the free-to-air channel and the third-best figure in their 30-year history, underlining the soaring popularity of the sport within Germany.

[Rogg]

Scary shit. It was funny seeing Searley in the mix, don't know why.

Wow.

I watched the final via a stream on Twitch (as I had done the past few rounds after the YouTube streams kept getting pulled) and there were over 100,000 watching the match on there.

Blimey. Part of me thinks they may as well have plopped it somewhere official for free, seeing as people were going to find it anyway. On the other hand, people pay for it.
