European Darts Open 2026 | Draw, Results & Schedule of Play

The European Tour returns to Leverkusen for the 2026 European Darts Open, and you can follow the latest results and schedule of play here.

The tenth of 15 PDC European Tour events this year features 48 players competing for £230,000 in prize money at the Ostermann Arena from July 10-12.

The tournament sees the top 16 players from the main Order of Merit seeded in the draw and enter at the Second Round stage, while the 16 highest-ranked players from the one-year ProTour Order of Merit enter in Round One.

They are joined by a further ten Tour Card holder qualifiers, four Host Nation qualifiers, a Nordic & Baltic qualifier and an East European qualifier.

Nathan Aspinall is the defending champion after he defeated Damon Heta 8-6 in last year’s final.

Aspinall is amongst the seeded contingent which is headed by World Championship finalist Gian van Veen and three-time World Champion Michael van Gerwen.

Former major champions Jonny Clayton, James Wade, Danny Noppert, Stephen Bunting, Chris Dobey and Ross Smith are also amongst the seeded contingent.

ProTour Order of Merit qualifiers include the likes of Kevin Doets, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Niko Springer and Cameron Menzies, while Charlie Manby, Mickey Mansell and Sebastian Bialecki are amongst the Tour Card Holder qualifiers.

From the original list of entries, Gary Anderson, Ryan Searle and Gerwyn Price withdrew from the event and have been replaced by Robert Owen, Max Hopp & Dominik Gruellich from the Reserve List. First Reserve Michael Smith rejected the opportunity to compete in the event.

All matches up to and including the quarter-finals are to be contested over the best of 11 legs, with semi-finals best of 13 and the final best of 15.
