2022 PDC World Cup of Darts

The tournament is expected to remain at 32 teams this year, with the top 8 teams being seeded and the remaining 24 teams being unseeded in the first round.

If the tournament is to continue as with recent years, the tournament would be a straight knockout.

First round: Best of nine legs doubles.
Second round, quarter and semi-finals: Two best of seven legs singles matches. If the scores are tied, a best of seven legs doubles match will settle the match.
Final: Three points needed to win the title. Two best of seven legs singles matches are played, followed by a best of seven doubles match. If necessary, one or two best of seven legs singles matches in reverse order are played to determine the champion.

But there are unconfirmed rumours, that a new format shakeup, like with the 2022 Premier League Darts might be in the offing, even with the possibility of all pairs matches, although that has yet to be confirmed.

Total prize money remained at £350,000.[4]
