# PDC, Cleeng & Urban Zoo Partner to Launch New Global Streaming Service
Company News | Cleeng | Apr 9, 2026
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Brentwood, UK - 9 April 2026 – The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) has officially launched its revamped global streaming service, [PDC TV](https://www.pdc.tv/), in collaboration with [Cleeng](http://www.cleeng.com) and sports technology platform [Urban Zoo](https://urbanzoo.io/). By choosing Cleeng’s Subscriber Retention Management (SRM®) platform, PDC has significantly upgraded its D2C offering to support its international expansion plans.
The upgraded platform now offers darts fans a new streaming experience, featuring live coverage, on-demand highlights, replays, scores, rankings, and exclusive tournament content.
The emergence of new talent such as Luke Littler has made darts one of the [fastest-growing sports globally](https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdartsworld.com%2F2025%2F01%2Fdarts-is-fastest-growing-uk-sport%2F&data=05%7C02%7Crp%40breakawaycom.com%7C71f6bb8c908b4971e52c08de949df070%7C264fad6d94f2402ebbcd2804adcc1b4a%7C1%7C0%7C639111603233530651%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ZumJxYgydB%2F7PcNyEcdWekTK3WsBpMp9AcOh9yzHpl8%3D&reserved=0) - a trend reflected in audience figures, with the 2025/26 World Darts Championship reaching a unique UK audience of 10 million. PDC recognised the need to scale its digital infrastructure to meet this surging international demand and Cleeng’s SRM integration was completed in a matter of weeks, delivering a rapid time-to-value and significantly reducing PDC’s operational complexity. The subscriber migration was completed with a 99.97% success rate, ensuring virtually no disruption to existing PDC TV subscribers.
A critical component as PDC expands globally is Cleeng’s trusted [Merchant of Record](https://cleeng.com/merchant-of-record) capability. By managing global tax compliance, local currencies, subscription management, and diverse payment methods in a single platform, Cleeng eliminates the risk and heavy operational overhead typically associated with international digital expansion. These robust localisation capabilities make it easy for PDC to acquire and retain a larger international audience, accelerating global revenue growth.
"*As the Merchant of Record for PDC, we handle the heavy lifting of **global tax compliance, local payment methods, and multi-currency processing** through a single integration*,” said Gilles Domartini, Founder and CEO, Cleeng. “*This ensures that whether a fan is in London, Berlin, or New York, they enjoy a frictionless, localised checkout experience, while PDC can focus on delivering world-class sports content and not worry about the nuances of global financial regulations*."
“*Darts has never been bigger, and PDC TV needed infrastructure that could keep up. With Cleeng, we went from integration to launch in weeks and we now have a platform capable of supporting our international ambitions for years to come,*” said Matt Porter, Chief Executive of PDC.
The successful deployment of Cleeng’s platform also marks the first collaboration between Cleeng and the UK-based sports technology platform Urban Zoo, which managed the contract, front-end design, and CMS integration. Together, the partnership delivered a seamless, end-to-end subscriber journey that increases PDC subscriber conversion and maximises retention.
By providing a highly localised and frictionless payment experience, PDC can now capitalise on darts’ growing popularity, ensuring fans have uninterrupted access to hundreds of matches, player stories, and floor-level coverage beyond the major televised tournaments.
Ahead of NAB, Cleeng today launched a raft of new AI agents for its AI Assistant to accelerate decision-making and automate time-consuming operational tasks. Press release [here](https://press.cleeng.com/cleeng-launches-the-industrys-first-cross-platform-ai-agents).
