In darts, what is the official height of the bullseye from the floor?

The official bullseye height in standard darts is 1.73 metres from the floor.

This measurement is taken to the center of the bullseye, not to the top or bottom of the dartboard. It is approximately 5 feet 8 inches, a familiar imperial measurement used in descriptions of dartboard setup.

Correct board height matters because even a small vertical error changes the geometry of every throw. Players and venues also need to measure the throwing distance from the face of the board, rather than from the wall behind it. A level board and secure mounting help keep the setup consistent.

The standard height applies broadly to steel-tip competition. Soft-tip formats and local recreational rules can use different equipment or distances, so a casual home setup may not match tournament specifications. The bullseye height should also be checked after mounting because brackets, cabinets, and uneven floors can alter the effective measurement.
