The
Flanders Darts Trophy 2026 is set to take place this weekend between Friday 11 - Sunday 13 September and will be the 13th of 15th
PDC European Tour events with only tilts in Basel and Maastricht to come after this weekend. 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 for now albeit he may still withdraw with The Nuke managing to seal his qualification for Dortmund by winning in Prague this past weekend. Also involved are Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Jonny Clayton, James Wade, Michael van Gerwen among others.
It is a tournament that was introduced to the tour back in 2024 with Dave Chisnall winning the first. The second went the way of Luke Littler in 2025 who beat Josh Rock in the final.
Beau Greaves, Raymond van Barneveld, Joe Cullen, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Cameron Menzies, Rob Cross and Luke Woodhouse are among those also in through the qualification routes (ProTour and Tour Card Holder Qualifier) and is the last tournament before the World Series Finals in Amsterdam.
