2026 World Series of Darts

The 2026 World Series of Darts is a series of televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. Six World Series events will be held followed by one finals event, which like every year since 2021 took place in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

One new event took place for the first time in 2026, with the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters taking place at the Global Theater in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, the Dutch and Poland Darts Masters were both removed from the series, with the latter being scrapped due to a new event, the Poland Darts Open, being added to the European Tour schedule.[1][2]

Prize money

The total prize fund for each of the six World Series events was unchanged from the previous year at £100,000 per event. The total prize fund for the 2026 World Series of Darts Finals was increased from the previous year from £400,000 to £450,000.[3] The prize fund breakdowns are shown below:
