How to watch Winmau World Masters 2026 qualifiers live and on TV in the UK, USA and Australia
PDCFriday, 23 January 2026 at 10:00
At Arena MK in Milton Keynes, the Winmau World Masters 2026 kicks off next Wednesday. For this first major of the new season, the top 24 of the PDC Order of Merit are seeded directly. In addition, eight more places are available via the qualifier.
Since last year, the Winmau World Masters has been a ranking event. The tournament was won last year by Luke Humphries, who edged Jonny Clayton 6-5 in the final. Notable fact: this is one of the few majors Luke Littler has never won. Alongside the top 24 in the world rankings, more than a hundred players will battle on Wednesday, January 28, for a place in the main draw of this major.
That includes PDC Tour Card holders such as Dirk van Duijvenbode, Raymond van Barneveld, Peter Wright, Michael Smith, Joe Cullen, and Beau Greaves. Also in action are players like Fallon Sherrock, Lisa Ashton, and Noa-Lynn van Leuven, alongside competitors from PDC-affiliated Tours such as the Nordic & Baltic Tour, CDC Tour, and PDC Asian Tour.
PDC Tour Card holders ranked 25 to 56 in the world are seeded directly into the quarterfinals of the qualifier. That means they need to win only three matches to reach the main event. Alongside the aforementioned Van Duijvenbode, Van Barneveld, Wright and co, this includes Dimitri Van den Bergh.
The main event will be broadcast live from Thursday. You can also watch the qualifier live on Wednesday, January 28. For this you need an account on PDC TV. For now, they have announced that one match per session will be streamed live from a single board. Should more boards become available live, we will report it here.

- Vdv telling mvg what he's being doing wrong? Vdv,get your darts back out, you're getting as bad as Mardle now. I noticed both of you both won multiple majors? No! I need say no morerick6722-01-2026
- Maybe he should write a book about it called murder on the dart board, and can branch out to a podcast. He can call that the wrong bed.BandB21-01-2026
- fact is, the majority of people don't agree with you (read i.e. any reddit post on the subject, where the consensus is the likes of mardle and dawson are the best out there). personally i'll miss oatley but i consider most of the others to be dinosaurs with the combined personality of a cardboard box. warriner-little's "THE BULL" gimmick is affected and cringeworthy and he's never had the charisma for a commentary job.colt18-01-2026
- i'm going to assume he said 15 major finals, not 50. in any case, van veen spanked him in the worlds and beat him in the other major final he played, so he absolutely has a case for being better than him right now, even if legacy wise he's still far behind for now.colt18-01-2026
- The headline? Who's made the perfect start? The bloke who won it! Did Mardle write that?! What an innocuous headline!rick6716-01-2026
- She has a horrible voice, which is deep like a man's.SkettyDarter16-01-2026
- The PDC bulldozed ITV into changing their line up just to keep the darts. I mean, just look at that picture above of that clockslacker Mardull..... Webster ticks a certain box I always liked Glenn Durrant the player but all of his interviews were cringe worthy and he is incredibly awkward now. Forget the rest of the waste of spaces. The previous ITV show was absolutely outstanding and fantastic, it didn't need changing. Alan Warriner is right to be incensed with the way he was dropped, again Alan is exceptionally knowledgeable and had that very dry wit and personality. The only worthy commentators from SKY are John Part and Laura Turner. I actually really liked Devon Petersen, who has massive amounts of charisma and character, I think he would make a decent commentator and what about Matthew Edgar, he has an excellent YouTube channel and is very knowledgeable and interesting. The bottom line is I will never watch darts on ITV with this line uprichieburnettrocks15-01-2026
- Not Mardle please. Alan warriner is much more knowledgeable and doesn't say here fishy fishy,and other inane rubbishrick6715-01-2026
- One of my all time favourites. And one of the best darts shirts going (especially the rarely seen blue).BandB14-01-2026
- Don't be daft,he won't do any reality shows! Who'd paint his head and colour his hair?! Honestly,I do like wrighty,I hope he gets his form back soon. Reality shows for sports people do seem to be a downward spiral!rick6713-01-2026
