Line-up European Darts Open 2026
Once again, a brace of Dutchman lead the field. With no Luke
Littler or Luke Humphries featuring, Gian van Veen is the number one seed for
proceedings with Michael van Gerwen following close behind.
Fellow Premier League names Jonny Clayton, Gerwyn Price and
Stephen Bunting will make the trip over with the likes of James Wade, Danny
Noppert, Chris Dobey, Ryan Searle and Ross Smith all in the hunt.
Gary Anderson will make an appearance on the European Tour
once more with Wessel Nijman continuing to impress following a second Euro Tour
title won last time out in the inaugural Slovak Darts Open.
There are only three former champions in the field. Five-time
champion van Gerwen and 2023 winner Price all have experience of coming out on
top in this tournament, and so does Nathan Aspinall. He defeated Damon Heta 8-6
in last year’s edition to clinch his second of three European Tour titles won
in 2025.

- He's admitted his mistakes. He won't be the first or last player to get sent down,or take drugs. I honestly didn't like the lad,but at least he's owning up to his issues. So,good luck. In whatever he decides to dorick6702-07-2026
- Not everyone wants to watch pub players throwing 70 averages for about £500. Premier League is indeed a cash cow, but it does its job of promoting the game. This new suggestion for changes is one of the better ones. Even better if everyone knew what they had to do to qualify and it isn't just a walk-on popularity contest.StraightArrowNoBull01-07-2026
- I have a suggestion,scrap the whole thing. It's a pointless cash cow for anyone in the top 10.rick6730-06-2026
- Well nobody made him bet!! It's his own fault,if wants to lose money,then he shouldn't call Gerwyn out! He averaged 103,I would think the losing betting idiot could average 40! If you don't want to risk losing,keep your money in your pocket!rick6728-06-2026
- A great female line up this year, it would be nice to see Gemma win, but Beau is too good. Although the most important lady is missing....Lorraine Winstanley! You can't have a major tournament with out Lorraine Winstanley!! My dream is to see Lorraine hit a nine darter, run off the stage and out of the building with Dean.richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
- Laura looking fantastic and obviously has a hidden talent as a dart player. It was so nice to see her shock and joy of hitting that triple 20 I miss Laura, she was excellent and very knowledgeable regarding darts. Can you imagine that dozy wooden air head Emma Paton from SKY being able to do that, she'd hold the dart the wrong way round.richieburnettrocks25-06-2026

- No disrespect... but when folks are as good as Littler, they only play in the events that mean something... not the small events. MVG and Humpheries do the same.MrYnyslas197123-06-2026
- Read this Mr littler,and I hope you don't suffer as smith has. Still,now you pick when you want to play. I think the ££££s have kicked inrick6722-06-2026
- I understand that the darts diary is packed, but people do actually pay to watch. I suppose that the prize money,or title,is enough anymore. I actually feel sorry for the players who get called up as replacements,call me stupid,but if you're not considered good enough initially,then why compete?rick6720-06-2026
