Players Championship 3 is here, and the first round draw in Wigan immediately puts the spotlight on several of the biggest storylines of the early 2026 Pro Tour season.
Luke Humphries finally joins the Players Championship circuit for the first time this year.
Fellow Premier League Darts stars Jonny Clayton and Stephen Bunting also open their 2026 floor campaigns after missing PC1 and PC2.
There is also instant relevance at the very top of the form book. James Wade and Wessel Nijman arrive as the winners of Players Championship 1 and Players Championship 2, respectively, while Gerwyn Price and Beau Greaves headline a strong set of first-round ties.

Debut spotlights and headline first-round ties

Humphries opens his 2026 Players Championship season against Stefaan Henderyck, with the world number one immediately under scrutiny after delaying his Pro Tour start until PC3.
Clayton begins his floor season versus Maximilian Czerwinski, while Bunting faces Carl Sneyd in another tie that is notable purely because it is the start of his Players Championship year.
Wade’s reward for winning PC1 is a potentially awkward opener against Wesley Plaisier, while PC2 champion Nijman takes on Stephen Burton as he looks to back up that breakthrough win straight away.
Price starts against Adam Lipscombe, and Greaves is again one of the featured names on the schedule as she plays Pascal Rupprecht in round one.
