The Czech Darts Open is due to take place between 4-6 September 2026. It will be the twelfth of fifteen PDC European Tour events. It features a field of 48 players and £230,000 in prize money, with £35,000 going to the winner.

The field is headlined by Luke Littler who finally makes his European Tour return after many months away and he is joined by the king of Prague, Luke Humphries who has won three out of the last four editions and is looking for three in a row. He has ruled the roost in the Czech city every year. But can his main rival thwart him as he often does.
A stacked field assembled too with Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, Jonny Clayton, Gerwyn Price, Gary Anderson (who will play after enjoying his return in Budapest), Budapest winner Ross Smith among others are involved.
As is Beau Greaves for the second week running who was only halted by Rob Cross in her European Tour debut and averaged 104 in defeat. She returns to the big stage as a name no-one will draw. Starting in 2019 albeit it has only been a constant since 2022, the Czech Darts Open is a staple of the European Tour and ahead of a busy autumn season, is one to look forward to.
