PDC darts 2026: Three month schedule

World Grand Prix | 28th September - 4th October | Sky Sports

The World Grand Prix is one of the most distinctive events on the PDC calendar, thanks to its famous double-in, double-out format. 

Players must hit a double to begin scoring as well as to finish each leg, adding an extra layer of pressure that regularly produces drama and surprise results.

European Championships | 22nd - 25th October

The European Championship brings together the leading performers from the PDC European Tour for one of the standout ranking events of the autumn. 

With a strong field and a straight knockout format, it usually delivers high-quality darts and plenty of pressure as players battle for one of the season’s major titles.

Grand Slam of Darts | 14th - 22nd November

The Grand Slam of Darts stands out for its unusual format, combining a round-robin group stage with knockout matches. 

Unlike most major PDC events, players get more than one chance to stay alive early on, before the tournament switches to a straight knockout and the pressure ramps up.

Players Championship Finals | 27th - 29th November

The Players Championship Finals brings the PDC Pro Tour season to a close, following 34 non-televised Players Championship events held throughout the year. 

The top 64 players on the Players Championship Order of Merit qualify, making it a final showdown between the tour’s most consistent performers.

World Darts Championship | 11th December - 3rd January

It’s not the holiday period with the World Darts Championship!

The World Darts Championship is the biggest event on the PDC calendar, bringing the sport’s leading players together at Alexandra Palace for its most prestigious title. 

Played across the festive season , it combines huge crowds, high-pressure knockout darts and the kind of drama that has made it the showpiece event of the season.
