Darts Schedule 2026–27: Every Event, Date, Venue and TV Time

The final stretch of the 2026 darts season is the busiest part of the year. In roughly ten weeks we get the last two European Tour events, the European Championship in Dortmund, the first-ever 48-player Grand Slam, the Players Championship Finals and then three weeks at Alexandra Palace. This page keeps the whole darts schedule 2026–27 in one place, and every start time below is shown in your time zone, not just UK time.

Darts schedule 2026–27 at a glance

This table updates itself. As each event finishes it drops off, and new dates are added as soon as the PDC confirms them. The “Starts” column uses your device’s clock, so if you are reading this in Lahore, New York or Sydney you will see your own local time.

Start times are converted automatically for every visitor. You are seeing: UK time

PDC Majors still to come in 2026

Four ranking Majors remain on the 2026 calendar, and they run almost back to back. If you only follow the big televised events, these are the dates to put in your diary.

European Championship. Only the top 32 players on the European Tour Order of Merit get in, which is why the last two Euro Tour weekends matter so much. One small detail worth knowing: UK clocks go back on Sunday 25 October, the final day, so if you follow along from abroad, the gap between UK time and yours changes overnight. Our full guide covers it: European Championship 2026 schedule.

Grand Slam of Darts. The big change this year is size. The field grows from 32 to 48 players, with a new group stage of 16 groups of three. Luke Littler won the last two editions and arrives chasing a hat-trick. Everything on qualifying and format is in our Grand Slam 2026 guide.

Players Championship Finals. Played in Minehead, this is the last ranking event before Ally Pally, built on prize money from the 34 Players Championship floor events played across the year. The draw for the World Championship has traditionally been made shortly after it finishes. Full details: Players Championship Finals 2026.

World Darts Championship. The 128-player event moves into Alexandra Palace’s Great Hall for the first time, and the final is on a Sunday — 3 January 2027. Session times, the round-by-round calendar and a time zone table are in our World Championship 2026/27 schedule.

European Tour 2026: the last two stops

The European Tour grew to 15 events this year, with first-ever stops in Poland and Slovakia. Thirteen are done. Two remain, and both feed directly into the race for Dortmund:

• Swiss Darts Trophy — 9–11 October, St. Jakobshalle, Basel. Sessions start at 13:00 and 19:00 local time on Friday and Saturday, and 12:00 and 18:00 on Sunday.
• Dutch Darts Championship — 16–18 October, MECC Maastricht. Sessions start at 13:00 and 19:00 local time each day.

For reference, this is the full 2026 European Tour calendar:

Players Championship and Women’s Series dates

The floor events are not on regular TV, but they decide a lot: Players Championship Finals places, World Championship seedings and Tour Card security. The last four of 2026 are:

• Players Championship 31 & 32 — 28–29 October, Den Bosch, Netherlands
• Players Championship 33 & 34 — 4–5 November, Leicester, England

Two qualifiers follow: the Grand Slam Tour Card Holder qualifier on 6 November in Leicester, and the World Championship Tour Card Holder qualifier on 30 November, also in Leicester.

The PDC Women’s Series plays events 21–24 in Wigan over 10–11 October, two events per day. Women’s Series rankings also offer a route into the Grand Slam, so these weekends carry more weight than they used to.

Looking ahead: the 2027 darts calendar

The PDC released its full 2027 calendar on 25 September 2026. The season starts with Q-School from 4 to 10 January and the World Masters in Milton Keynes from 27 to 31 January. The Premier League opens at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Thursday 4 February and finishes at The O2 in London on 27 May.

The big news is a brand-new Major, the European Open, in Salzburg from 18 to 20 June, plus the first European Tour event in France (Liévin, 19–21 March). The European Championship expands to six days (26–31 October), and the Grand Slam moves a week earlier to 6–14 November. Every date — including all 34 Players Championships — is in our darts schedule 2027.

WDF events

The World Darts Federation runs its own circuit, separate from the PDC. Its biggest event, the WDF World Championship at the Lakeside in Frimley Green, has run from late November into early December since 2024. The 2026 WDF World Championship runs from Friday 27 November to Sunday 6 December at the Lakeside Country Club, with Open, Women’s, Youth and Girls’ titles on the line. Before that, the Lakeside hosts the Silver-graded Lakeside Open on Saturday 31 October and the final World Championship qualifiers on Sunday 1 November.

Note that the opening weekend overlaps with the PDC Players Championship Finals in Minehead (27–29 November), so there is darts on both circuits that weekend.

How the start times on this site work

Most darts schedules list times in UK time only, which is not much help if you are watching from Karachi or Chicago. On this site we store every session in UK time and your browser converts it to your own clock. If a time looks odd, check that your phone or computer’s time zone is set correctly — that is the only thing the conversion relies on.
