The 2020 PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship will be the tenth edition of the PDC World Youth Championship, a tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation for darts players aged between 16 and 23.

The group stage and knock-out phase from the last 32 to the semi-finals were played at Metrodome, Barnsley, on 28 September 2020. The final will take place on 29 November 2020 at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, before the final of the 2020 Players Championship Finals.

England's Luke Humphries was the reigning champion after defeating Adam Gawlas of the Czech Republic 6–0 in the 2019 final, but he was unable to defend his title, as he was over the age limit.

The final will be contested between the English pair Bradley Brooks and Joe Davis.
