The World Chess Championship 2024 will be a chess match between the reigning world champion Ding Liren and the challenger Gukesh D to determine the World Chess Champion. The match is provisionally scheduled between November 20 and December 15, 2024 with a place yet to be announced. It will be played to a best of 14 games. In case of a tie, players will proceed to tiebreaks to declare the winner.[1]
After acquiring an unspecified illness,[2] Ding was absent and subsequently withdrew from several chess tournaments, including the Asian Games and the Grand Chess Tour following the 2023 World Chess Championship. Despite this absence, Ding returned to classical chess at the 2024 Tata Steel Chess Tournament and reaffirmed his intention to recontest his title at this World Chess Championship.[3]
