The next European Tour event takes place this weekend in one of the tour's most well known venues in the form of the Glaspalast in Sindelfingen for the European Darts Grand Prix.

Defending champion is Michael van Gerwen who saw off James Wade in the final last year where he averaged 110 in an 8-3 win. Van Gerwen is coming off the back of multiple European Tour victories already this year and he will be in action in Sindelfingen.
As will the likes of Rob Cross, Daryl Gurney and home favourite Max Hopp. All of whom are seeded for this weekend's event. In terms of the UK Qualifier, we will see first appearances for the likes of Mark McGeeney and Gavin Carlin; both have impressed so far since getting their Tour Cards.
Jamie Hughes and Glen Durrant also came through that route; as did ever present and evergreen Steve Beaton who has been rolling back the years for the past few weeks on the European Tour.
There is no Raymond van Barneveld in Sindelfingen but a lot of the next generation are involved including Jeffrey de Zwaan, Dimitri van den Bergh and a debut for promising Dutchman, Niels Zonneveld.
Kim Viljanen and Pero Ljubic have come through the Nordic and Baltic and East European Qualifier respectively with more spots up for grabs through Host Nation and West/South European on Thursday night.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
