The PDC World Championship 2021 is scheduled to start Tuesday with 1,000 spectators each day. But the current situation in London might bring this tournament into trouble after all.
.
At this moment London, which includes the Alexandra Palace, is in tier 2 which means it is allowed to have 1,000 people in one place. But the number of positive coronavirus tests is still increasing in this area. BBC and Sky mention experts are saying it is very likely London will be put into tier 3 before Christmas.
If this will happen there will be no spectators allowed at the PDC World Championship and some media even claim sports events will get banned. At Wednesday December 16th, one day after the start of the PDC World Championship, the English gouvernement will announce if this will be the case or not.
Despite this uncertainty the PDC is preparing the Alexandra Palace to make it ready for the Worlds.
