If you follow darts, you know James Wade is a name that pops up often – whether he’s smashing a double or pulling off a surprise comeback. This page pulls together everything you need to know about his recent matches, stats, and what’s coming next.

Recent Match Results

Wade has been busy on the circuit this month. In the World Grand Prix, he edged a 10‑9 win against a rising star by hitting a crucial 170 checkout in the final leg. A week later, at the European Masters, he slipped to a 6‑4 defeat after missing several key doubles in the deciding set.

What’s interesting is how his scoring average has steadied around 98 points per throw – up from the low 90s earlier this season. That bump shows his practice routine is paying off, especially on the treble 20 segment where he now hits over 70% of attempts.

Looking ahead, Wade’s schedule includes the PDC Premier League kickoff in early September and a spot in the World Championship qualifiers. Fans should keep an eye on his warm‑up sessions; he often shares short videos of his practice rounds on social media, giving clues about his form.

If you’re betting or just curious, pay attention to his first‑round odds – they usually tighten when he’s coming off a strong performance. A good tip is to watch his checkout percentages in the last 10 legs; Wade tends to finish stronger when that number sits above 45%.
