DRAW Players Championship 6 | Gerwyn Price and Beau Greaves face tricky openers in Leicester

Players Championship 6 gets underway in Leicester this afternoon at 1 pm UK time, and the draw once again throws up several immediate tests for the biggest names on the 2026 Pro Tour.

With five events already completed and no single dominant force emerging, the focus now shifts to who can build momentum rather than simply peak for one afternoon.

One of the standout ties sees Gerwyn Price open against Cristo Reyes. Price remains one of the most dangerous scorers on the floor, but Reyes is more than capable of turning this into a scrap if the former world champion does not settle quickly.

Fresh from his Players Championship 3 title, Chris Dobey faces Benjamin Pratnemer, a match that will test whether Dobey can follow up success with stability rather than a short spike in form.

There is also intrigue for Michael Smith, who takes on Niall Culleton, while Jonny Clayton meets James Hurrell in another tie where a slow start could prove costly.

Former world champion Gary Anderson is also in action against Arron Monk, while Peter Wright begins his campaign versus Dominik Gruellich.

Elsewhere, Beau Greaves faces Chris Landman, and Dave Chisnall opens against Jurjen van der Velde in another potentially awkward encounter.

By Event 6, early exits begin to matter in the race for Players Championship Finals qualification. The short format continues to reward sharp starters and punish hesitation, and Leicester is unlikely to be any different.

Play begins at 1pm UK time, with the Pro Tour once again offering little protection for reputation or ranking.
