PDC Tournament Calendar 2026 | European Tour expanded as Premier League heads to Antwerp

The 2026 PDC calendar has been confirmed, featuring an expanded European Tour schedule and a ground-breaking Premier League night in Belgium.

The European Tour will visit Poland and Slovakia for the first time next season, with an additional event taking the total to a record 15.

Over 135 days of ranking competition will take place in 2026, in addition to the PDC’s secondary tours and qualifying events.

The new season will commence with Qualifying School from January 5-11, with simultaneous events being staged in Milton Keynes and Kalkar respectively.

This will be followed by the first ranking event of the campaign from January 28 to February 1, as Luke Humphries bids to retain his Winmau World Masters title in Milton Keynes.

The Premier League, European Tour and Players Championships will begin in February, with 34 PDC ProTour events again taking place following this year’s expansion.

Antwerp will play host to a landmark night of Premier League action on Thursday February 12, while the European Tour also breaks new ground with a first visit to Krakow in Poland from February 20-22 – following the success of popular World Series events in the country for the past three years.

March will see the prestigious UK Open take place at Butlin’s Minehead, before the 2026 Premier League season draws to a close in an action-packed month of May.

The Premier League night in Cardiff precedes the UK Open, meaning Exeter has been dropped from the schedule after hosting the Premier League since 2009.

The World Cup of Darts will be held in Frankfurt from June 11-14, while the PDC visits Slovakia for the first time just five days later, as Bratislava hosts the year’s ninth European Tour event from June 19-21.

The following month will see the Betfred World Matchplay and Women’s World Matchplay return to the Winter Gardens in Blackpool from July 18-26, with the World Series Finals taking place in Amsterdam from September 17-20.

Visits to Switzerland and the Netherlands will see the European Tour conclude in the autumn ahead of the European Championship from October 22-25 in Dortmund.

This will be preceded by the World Grand Prix in Leicester from September 28-October 4, while November will feature the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton and the Players Championship Finals in Minehead.

The season will then conclude with the 2026/27 World Darts Championship in December, as a 128-player field battles it out for a £1m top prize and the Sid Waddell Trophy in the sport’s annual showpiece.

The venue is still to be confirmed for the World Championship, with the current contract at Alexandra Palace up for renewal.

The PDC’s Women’s Series, Challenge Tour and Development Tour will again feature 24 events each throughout the year.

The World Series schedule is still be finalised, with all current events set to be retained as well as possible further additions.
