The 2016 PDC World Cup of Darts will be the sixth edition of the PDC World Cup of Darts and will take place between 2–5 June in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Format

The tournament remained at 32 teams this year. 16 teams are seeded and drawn to face the remaining 16 teams in the first round. Like last year, there are no groups in 2016 with the tournament being 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.
