The 2016 PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship was the sixth edition of the PDC World Youth Championship, a tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation for darts players aged between 16 and 23.
The knock-out stages from the last 64 to the semi-finals were played in Wigan on 16 October 2016. The final took place on 27 November 2016, before the final of the 2016 Players Championship Finals, which was shown live on ITV4.
Max Hopp was the defending champion after defeating Nathan Aspinall 6–5 in the 2015 final, but he lost in the second round to fellow German Martin Schindler.
The final was contested between Dutch player Berry van Peer and Australia's Corey Cadby, with Cadby winning 6–2.[1]
