In 2013 the PDC launched the World Series. In that year, the PDC sends eight top players to Dubai and Sydney to spread the sport more global. In the years that follow the cycle steadily expanded and in 2015 the World Series Finals appear on the calendar.
In 2026, the World Series of Darts will enter its fourteenth year. Six tournaments will be played this year, in addition to the finals. This year, we'll be going to Saudi Arabia for the first time. The World Series will also return to New York, Copenhagen, Bahrain, Australia, and New Zealand. The World Series Finals will be held in Amsterdam.
This is what the calendar will look like in 2026:
January 15 en 16| Bahrain Darts Masters | Bahrain
January 19 en 20 | Saudi Arabia Darts Masters | Riyadh
June 5 en 6 | Nordic Darts Masters | Copenhagen
June 26 en 27 | U.S. Darts Masters | New York
August 14 en 15 | New Zealand Darts Masters | Auckland
August 21 en 22 | Australian Darts Masters | Wollongong
September 17 t/m 20 | World Series of Darts Finals | Amsterdam
The line-up for the six World Series tournaments differs per tournament. All tournaments will be played over two days this year with the exception being the Finals which will be played over 3 days. In the first round, eight regional players compete against eight players who are invited by the PDC.
