The World Grand Prix returns to Leicester in 2026, and you can follow the latest results and schedule of play here.

The historic double-start tournament will see 32 players competing for the prestigious trophy and record £750,000 prize fund at the Mattioli Arena.

The top 16 players from the main PDC Order of Merit are joined by the next 16 highest ranked players from the ProTour Order of Merit.

Luke Littler is the defending champion after he defeated 2023 champion Luke Humphries 6-1 in last year’s final to lift the trophy for the first time.

Littler is bidding to become only the third player in the 28-year history of the tournament to successfully retain the title.

Six-time champion Michael van Gerwen is out to recapture the title he first won in 2012 and most recently captured a decade later, while other former champions in the field include Humphries, Gerwyn Price, Jonny Clayton and James Wade.

Former World Grand Prix finalists Nathan Aspinall, Gary Anderson, Dave Chisnall and Dirk van Duijvenbode also feature, while Kevin Doets, Niels Zonneveld and Sebastian Bialecki will make their debuts in this year’s event.

First Round matches are to be contested over the best of three sets, second round and quarter-final ties are best of five, with semi-finals best of nine and the final best of 11.

All sets are the best of five legs and there will be no tie break in any set. All legs must begin and end with a double, meaning that a player must hit a double before they can begin scoring in each leg.
