Calendar PDC World Series of Darts 2026: Darts heads to Saudi Arabia for first time in landmark deal

The 2026 World Series of Darts will once again take on a global character, with tournaments spread across four continents. The PDC has confirmed the initial calendar, and fans can get ready for a series of top events in various locations around the world.

The new season begins immediately with two tournaments in the Gulf region. On Jan. 15 and 16, the Bahrain Darts Masters will be played for the fourth time. Just days later, on Jan. 19 and 20, the sport will make its debut in Saudi Arabia with the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters, part of the prestigious Riyadh Season. It will be the very first time an official PDC event has taken place in Saudi Arabia.

In the summer, the darts violence descends on Europe and North America. The Nordic Darts Masters returns to the Copenhagen Forum on June 5 and 6, where Scandinavian top players get to compete against the global top. Later that month, the caravan travels to the United States. On June 26 and 27, New York's iconic Madison Square Garden will host the US Darts Masters as well as the North American Championship for the fifth year in a row.

The PDC heads to Oceania in August for its traditional doubles program in that region. The New Zealand Darts Masters will be played in Auckland on Aug. 14 and 15, followed by the Australian Darts Masters in Wollongong a week later, on Aug. 21 and 22.

After the worldwide touring circus, attention returns to Europe, where the World Series of Darts Finals will once again take place at AFAS Live in Amsterdam. From Sept. 17 to 20, 32 top players will compete for the final victory of the 2026 World Series.

As usual, eight PDC regular stars per tournament will take on eight regional representatives. The names of the invited players will be announced later.
