Paolo Nebrida (born 31 December 1994) is a Filipino professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. He has won 5 titles on the Asian Tour and reached the last 32 at the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship.
Career
Nebrida qualified for the 2018 PDC World Youth Championship, progressing through his group before being knocked out at the round of 16 stage by Callan Rydz. Having qualified to represent the Philippines at the 2021 PDC World Cup of Darts, he was unable to travel to Germany to take part, due to European Union COVID-19 vaccine protocols. Instead he was replaced by Christian Perez.
Having reached the semi-finals of the 2022 PDC Asian Championship, Nebrida sealed his qualification for the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship, his debut at the competition. In his first round match, Nebrida was defeated 3–2 by Danny Jansen, after coming back from 2–0 down.
At the 2024 PDC World Championship, Nebrida was defeated by Simon Whitlock 3–2 in the first round.
At the 2025 PDC World Championship, Nebrida earned a first win at the competition by defeating Jim Williams 3–2. During his second round match, he defeated nineteenth seed Ross Smith 3–0 to become the first Filipino player to reach the last 32, dedicating the victory to compatriot Sandro Eric Sosing following his withdrawal from the competition due to ill health.
Nebrida became the first Filipino player to win a match on the World Series of Darts when he defeated Rob Cross 6–3 in the first round of the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters.
