MODUS Super Series and Pluto TV have entered a groundbreaking partnership to bring darts to viewers in the UK and across several international markets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
MODUS Super Series Darts is a brand new channel, available for free on Pluto TV, dedicated to providing darts programming around the clock.
Central to the channel will be the live Pluto TV MODUS Super Series tournament, with 104 live matches taking place every week, with Pluto TV becoming the title sponsors.
Darts fans can now immerse themselves in the sport like never before. The Pluto TV MODUS Super Series channel aims to deliver an unparalleled viewing experience, featuring a mix of live matches, expert analysis, and engaging behind-the-scenes content.
The live tournament, which serves as the channel’s centrepiece, showcases the skills of established players and emerging talent, creating thrilling moments that highlight the intensity and precision of the sport. Additionally, viewers can enjoy in-depth features and documentaries that explore the journeys and stories of darts personalities, providing a deeper connection to the game and its players.
Exclusively on Pluto TV, the channel will feature an exciting live event on Saturday 18 January: The Legends League Finals Night. This special live show will be graced by legendary darts figure, Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor, who will be in the studio for the live action. The 16-time World Champion will provide analysis as other legends of darts battle out to win the Legends League.
The first full week of the exclusive partnership will be marked by the start of Pluto TV MODUS Super Series Ten, which will culminate with the victorious player pocketing £25,000 and following in the footsteps of renowned former winners such as teenage prodigy and current World Darts Champion Luke Littler, who won the tournament twice at the age of 16.
