2026 PDC Women's Series
The 2026 PDC Women's Series is a series of non-televised women's darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). A secondary tour to the 2026 PDC Pro Tour, the seventh edition of the PDC Women's Series consists of 24 tournaments played over six weekends of four events each.[1] All female players who are outside of the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit, or are at least 16 years of age on the cut-off date of a Women's Series event, are eligible to compete in the Women's Series.[2]
In early April 2026, the Darts Regulation Authority, which governs the PDC, banned trans women from competing in women's events with immediate effect after they commissioned a report by Dr Emma Hilton about gender differences in darts.[3]
Order of Merit
According to the PDC's Order of Merit rules,[2] the Women's Series prizes are as follows:
- The top three players on the Women's Series Order of Merit, who have not obtained qualification via another method, receive a place in the first round of the 2027 PDC World Darts Championship.
- The top player on the Women's Series Order of Merit, who has not qualified via another method, receives a place at the 2026 Grand Slam of Darts.
- The players in the top eight of the Women's Series Order of Merit, who have not obtained a PDC Tour Card before the Qualifying School (Q-School), receive free entry to the 2027 edition of Q-School.
Additionally, earnings from Women's Series events held in late 2025 and early 2026 count towards the Women's World Matchplay Order of Merit. PDC Tour Card holder Beau Greaves and the next seven highest-ranked players on this ranking qualify for the 2026 Women's World Matchplay, a televised tournament held concurrently with the 2026 World Matchplay. The Women's World Matchplay is an additional qualification route to major tournaments, with the winner qualifying for the 2026 Grand Slam of Darts and 2027 PDC World Darts Championship.[4]
