The deal will see daily pan-European reporting giving fans the chance to see live coverage on Eurosport 1 and UK Eurosport throughout the tournament.
Scott Newhouse, BDO Events managing director, said: "Eurosport is a key partner for us. Their experience and live coverage will contribute hugely to the international fame of our new tournament and is testimony to how the World Trophy is already being recognised by the darts world.”
The BDO World Trophy will take place in the stunning Tower Ballroom and will see more than 1,000 players joining top professionals to battle it out for the title and a guaranteed £115,000 prize pot, one of the largest in the game of darts. The tournament will be seen by up to 10,000 fans.
