How to watch PDC Players Championship events live and on TV in the UK, USA and Australia

The PDC Pro Tour sees the Players Championship tournaments take place with 34 events in all in 2026 starting on February 9 and 10 with Players Championship 1 and 2.

This takes place in Hildesheim as the German traditional home of the European Tour takes in the first events of the season. Further events mainly take place in a variety of English towns and cities including Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan, Leicester Arena in the same city, Arena MK in Milton Keynes as well as a first visit to Den Bosch at Maaspoort. This sees ProTour darts return to Holland for the first time in a long while but mostly Leicester populates the vast majority of these tournaments.

It will feature a mix of big names throughout the year but as ever this will be subject to change with the Premier League players in particular likely to pick and choose. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries for instance have either said they will in part skip ones or only play in Wigan. Other top names have also previously snubbed playing in Germany due to the travel. So who will play in them is always a mixed bag but expect Littler, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price at junctures throughout the year.

The main goal is to qualify for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead that take place towards the back end of 2026 before the PDC World Darts Championship. Littler and co had issues qualifying last year so it always gives an additional dynamic with the race to the finish.

All matches on the four main boards can be watched live via PDCTV, the PDC's official streaming channel. Fans can choose from several subscription options: a monthly pass (£9.99), an annual subscription (£59.99) or a flexible multi-day short-use pass.

This gives fans a unique opportunity to also experience the Players Championship tournaments up close - the floor tournaments where new stars emerge and established names sometimes lose out surprisingly early.
