The 2016 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship is the 39th World Championship organised by the British Darts Organisation, and the 31st staging at the Lakeside Country Club at Frimley Green.
The defending men's champion was Scott Mitchell, who won his first world title in 2015, but lost in the Quarter-finals to Richard Veenstra. 2013 world champion Scott Waites won the title by defeating Jeff Smith 7-1 in the final.
Lisa Ashton was the defending women's champion, having won the previous two editions, but lost to Trina Gulliver in the Quarter-finals. Gulliver then went on to win her 10th world championship title after defeating Deta Hedman 3-2 in the final.
On 27 November 2015, Hull qualifier Vladimir Andersen was removed from the field after being suspended by the Danish Darts Union and was replaced by Sam Hewson, the player next in line according to the rankings.
