2023 PDC Tournament Calendar confirmed
The PDC tournament calendar for 2023 has been confirmed, with more than 170 days of darts worldwide.
Having enjoyed a return to a full programme of events in 2022, the PDC European Tour will once again see 13 tournaments taking place across the continent in 2023, starting with a debut in Kiel, Germany.
Eight events will be staged in Germany, along with visits to the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
An expanded PDC Women’s Series will see 24 events take place at venues in the UK and Germany across six double-header weekends, with places in televised events – including the Women’s World Matchplay and World Darts Championship – on offer.
Following the conclusion of the 2022/23 World Darts Championship, focus initially turns to the PDC Qualifying Schools, which will be held in the UK and Germany from January 9-15.
Two stages of play will each take place in Milton Keynes for the UK Q School and the new venue of Kalkar in western Germany for the European Q School.
The opening televised event of the new season will see the PDC break new ground in Bahrain with the Bahrain Darts Masters – the first of five international events confirmed for the 2023 World Series of Darts.
A busy start to the year continues as the World Series heads to Copenhagen before the world’s top 24 players compete in The Masters from January 27-29 in Milton Keynes.

The top 32 players on the European Tour Order of Merit will head to Dortmund for the European Championship from October 26-29, while the Grand Slam of Darts is set to take place from November 11-19 in Wolverhampton.
