The 2026 Slovak Darts Masters was held from 19 to 21 June at the Incheba Expo in Bratislava, Slovakia, as the ninth event of the 2026 European Tour and the first-ever European Tour event to be staged in Slovakia.

Some seeded players suffered early exits. Top seed Gian van Veen was beaten 6–3 by Rob Cross in the Last 32, while Gerwyn Price (4) exited after a 6–2 defeat to Cameron Menzies, who averaged an outstanding 106.00. Jonny Clayton (3) barely didn’t make the next round, losing 6-5 to Ryan Joyce.

Wessel Nijman began his campaign with a 6–2 victory over Benjamin Pratnemer before producing a convincing 6–1 win against Stephen Bunting in the Last 16. In the quarterfinals, the Dutchman averaged 104.50 as he defeated Mike De Decker 6–3. His semi-final against Ross Smith proved to be the closest match of his weekend, with Nijman prevailing 7–6 in a deciding-leg to book his place in the final.

On the other side of the draw, Rob Cross enjoyed an impressive run to the final. After defeating Juraj Holub in the opening round, Cross eliminated top seed Gian van Veen 6–3 in the Last 32. He then survived a deciding-leg encounter against Kevin Doets, winning 6–5, before producing a 102.75 average in a 6–2 victory over Nathan Aspinall in the quarterfinals. Cross completed his run to the final with a 7–2 win against surprise semi-finalist Tom Sykes.

In the final, both players average over 102 throughout the match. Nijman quickly settled into his rhythm and gradually pulled away from Cross. Nijman eventually secures an 8-3 victory, claiming his second EuroTour victory, with the first having been won earlier this year at the European Darts Trophy. For Rob Cross, this was his 12th EuroTour final, having won four in his career.
