The 2018 PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship was the eighth edition of the PDC World Youth Championship, a tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation for darts players aged between 16 and 23.
In a change mirroring that of the 2019 PDC World Darts Championship, the field of this competition increased from 64 to 96 players, who competed in 32 groups of three, with the winner of each progressing to the knockout stages.
The group stage and knock-out phase from the last 32 to the semi-finals was played at Robin Park Centre, Wigan, on 5 November 2018. The final took place on 25 November 2018, before the final of the 2018 Players Championship Finals.
Belgium's Dimitri Van den Bergh was the defending champion after defeating English player Josh Payne 6–3 in the 2017 final.
Van den Bergh successfully defended his youth title, by beating Germany's Martin Schindler 6–3 in the final.
Van den Bergh became the first player to defend the title and overall to win two times the PDC World Youth Title.
