From Friday 11 - Sunday 13 September 2026, the
Flanders Darts Trophy is set to take place at the Antwerp Expo in Antwerp, Belgium. It is the thirteenth of fifteen PDC
European Tour on the 2026 PDC ProTour. It will feature 48 players and £230,000 in
Prize Money.
£35,000 will go to the winner, Luke Littler is defending champion, but he won't play. He defeated Josh Rock 8-7 in the 2025 final.
Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen Jonny Clayton currently lead the way. Of course this is all subject to late withdrawals with at least three withdrawals up until the middle of the week.
How is the prize money distributed?
Every player competing at the
Flanders Darts Trophy receives a share of the prize fund, with £35,000 going to the outright winner this year.
| Round | Prize money |
| Winner | £35,000 |
| Runner-up | £15,000 |
| Semi-finals | £10,000 |
| Quarter-finals | £8,000 |
| Third round | £5,000 |
| Second round | £3,500* |
| First round | £2,000* |
As of a few years ago, the European Tour changed in regards to the seeded players. The top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit are guaranteed entry and do not need to qualify for the tournament. There is however a caveat in that if a seed loses their opening game, the prize money doesn't count towards the rankings. This will not be added to any Order of Merit.
It works differently when it comes to qualifiers. Players who come through a qualifier and then move into seeded position due to withdrawals, they will still get ranking money. Their earnings will be included on various Order of Merits.
The prize money also impacts multiple rankings with Antwerp heading towards the conclusion of this year's European Tour. It counts towards the PDC Order of Merit, ProTour Order of Merit, but most notably the
European Tour Order of Merit. The list is decisive when it comes towards the European Championship in Dortmund later this season.
In addition, a player’s position on that European Tour ranking also determines seeding for the season finale. The higher you are, the more favourable the European Championship draw. At the same time, there is a risk: big names can miss out if they skip events or underperform on the European Tour.
