The German Darts Championship is one of the longest-running Euro Tour tournaments. In the debut year of the PDC European Tour in 2012, this event was already part of the calendar. Then it was Phil Taylor who managed to take the title in Berlin. As of 2013, the German Darts Championship will take place at Halle 39 in Hildesheim.

Over the years, the tournament has had many different winners. Besides Taylor, the list of honorees includes Dave Chisnall (2013), Gary Anderson (2014), Michael van Gerwen (2015, 2018 and 2022), Alan Norris (2016), Peter Wright (2017 and 2024), Daryl Gurney (2019), Devon Petersen (2020) and Ricardo Pietreczko (2023).
Luke Littler is missing from this year's German Darts Championship as are former world champions Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen. But Rob Cross, Gerwyn Price, Stephen Bunting and Peter Wright have signed up, as have such top players as James Wade, Jonny Clayton and Josh Rock.

As for the prize money, there are serious sums waiting in Hildesheim. The winner goes home with 30,000 pounds, but there are also good rewards for the rest. The finalist gets 12,000 pounds, semi-finalists earn 8,500 and those who reach the quarter-finals get 6,000. Even a place in the third round earns £4,000. Those who die in the second round take 2,500, while players who already fail in the first round still receive 1,250. The total thus comes to 175,000 pounds.
Placed players who immediately lose their first match in the second round will receive prize money but the amount won will not count toward the various rankings. The exception is players who qualify through the qualifiers and later advance to a seeded position due to a cancellation. Their prize money will then count toward the Order of Merits.
The German Darts Championship represents another great testing point for the top players, as we are now in the period when the majors follow each other in rapid succession. The stakes are not only a cup and £30,000, but also important ranking points in a phase of the season where every arrow counts.

- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
- Probably i will receive a lot of backlash and hate for this reaction, but well, so be it. I am more than sick and tired of those lies of you Barry Hearn. How dare you defend yourself over the back of Fallon’s son! He has a disability and not an illness, so let me correct that for you! I know because I have the exact same disability. I have tried to reach out to Fallon in the past, and offered her to help her and her son, because I was struggling with the same problems, and I understood the boy. I wanted him to have finally someone who understood him. However she told me that she did not want my help, and I have respected Fallon’s choice. I have never asked Fallon for money. They don’t need money in that case. I only ever wanted the best for Fallon and Rory, but I have to be honest about the situation. Fallon should tell the true story and not be forced to tell lies. I don’t hate Fallon, and I don’t begrudge or envy a single penny that she gets, but this situation/case is just not fair. I hate the lies and the dishonesty and injustice. I don’t want Fallon to be hated because there is an unfair disadvantage created. Don’t proclaim your false lies over the back of Rory! I only stand for integrity and justice. I am precisely the one who always sticks up for Fallon. And you don't, you don't give a damn about them. You were never there for them, and now you only want to save your own position! You are just trying to talk your way out of your own bad behavior at the expense of someone with a disability. And to Fallon, I don’t know if this may ever reach you, and you read it, but I want you to know I love you and I love your son Rory very much, I am sorry how things developed and went. I hope you and Harriet are still friends. I am sorry if I were too persistent to you, or you experienced it that way, but it was never my intention. Please understand I have autism as well. As Barry Hearn would say, I am only just a human being too, and I also make mistakes and misjudge things sometimes. I promise you I did everything out of the deepest love and care for you and Rory. If I were you, I should just keep all the money, only please never be dishonest or tell lies anymore for Barry Hearn, or anyone else. I hope you have the best life, and I wish nothing more than the best for you. I have always loved the two of you. Farewell.Hiddo05-11-2026
