Carnival forces PDC to convert playing venues Players Championship tournaments
PDCSunday, 02 November 2025 at 16:15
The PDC has announced that two Players Championship weekends in 2026 will change locations due to limited hotel availability. The events in question are events 3 and 4 in February and 29 and 30 in September.
The third and fourth Players Championship tournaments, scheduled for Feb. 16 and 17, will now take place in Wigan. Originally, these events were to be held in Den Bosch, Netherlands, but due to the annual Carnival in the Netherlands, insufficient hotel capacity proved available for players, staff and officials.
In contrast, tournaments 29 and 30, as well as the qualifying tournament for the 15th European Tour event (ET15), from September 22 to 24, are just being moved from Wigan to Den Bosch.
With these adjustments, the PDC aims to ensure smooth organisation and logistics for players and staff. The entire 2026 Players Championship season will otherwise remain unchanged in terms of format and dates.

- At what point does this dozy, dull as dishwater nobody belong in the almighty premier league. He has the whipping boy this year , barely progressed in any of the majors and lucked his way to the World semi. A nothing player.richieburnettrocks12-11-2025
- The Germans and the Dutch are far worse when they play each other. What is your opinion about that? The big money is in England and that is where most of the events will stay. Not forgetting, MVG is quite repugnant - at times. There is huge bias for English players - due to the fact that this event is being played in England. Other countries do the same thing... and rightly so. My advice is... stop being so anti-English and wind your neck in a little. Thank you.MrYnyslas197111-11-2025
- Obviously they meant Luke Woodhouse not lego head. My wife had numerous friends around at the weekend who were disgusted with most of the players appearance...lego head, bunting etc but all of them said Luke Woodhouse was best looking and sexiest.richieburnettrocks10-11-2025
- Ridiculous booing there from the crowd during Van Gerwen's Match. It is about time they moved these tournaments away from all being in England, huge bias for the English players. Sky have done an awful job of cutting all the walk-on music off tonightListerAnderson08-11-2025

- As good as Beau is, she would have struggled against Trina in her prime. Trina would have beaten most of the men in those days. She was absolutely dominant but won such a disgracefully low amount of prize money. It is great to see her backrichieburnettrocks06-11-2025
- While i do not think dart players should be paid a wage or even expenses it is ludicrous that you get nothing for turning up on the Pro Tour and losing in the first round whereas the officials are being paid a wage. Should have left the World Champion prize money at £500k and split the other £500k down the ranks. A side note to this. Would not surprise me the reason that Warriner Little and Chris Mason are not being retained for TV coverage is because of their support and backing to the players.Mysstree05-11-2025
- Probably go 1. Wright, 2. Anderson, 3. Wilson, 4. Thornton. Hard to compare Wilson to the other three as his career was over early PDC (WDC). Thornton has two PDC majors, outplayed Taylor to win the UK Open and outplayed MvG to win the Grand Prix and both were in their prime. Wright does have 7 PDC Majors whereas Anderson has 5.Mysstree05-11-2025

- Remember watching this and it’s not quite how it unfolded. Waites did play well however when they went off for a break with Wade well in the lead it was almost as if a different Wade came back. Probably one of his bi-polar episodes which was not so widely known then. I still include the GSOD as being a Major even when it was not officially classed as such so in my eyes Scott Waites is the only non PDC player to have won a PDC Major and is a far bigger win in terms of prestige than either of his BDO World titles.Mysstree04-11-2025
