James Wade returns to World Series stage as Luke Humphries and Luke Littler headline US Darts Masters field

The world’s top darts stars are set for another major summer showdown in 2026, as the US Darts Masters returns to the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York. Taking place on 25 and 26 June at the Infosys Theater, the eighth edition of the World Series of Darts event once again brings together the elite of the sport and leading North American challengers.

Defending champion Luke Humphries returns to New York with the chance to do what no one has managed before and successfully defend the US Darts Masters title.

That task looks even tougher this time around with Luke Littler continuing to set the standard at the top of the game. The world number one has already added the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters to his 2026 haul and will head to New York as a central figure in the title race.

Elsewhere, Gian van Veen gets his first opportunity on the New York stage after a breakthrough spell that has pushed him firmly into the conversation at the top level, while Josh Rock arrives with further chances to test himself against the sport’s biggest names.

James Wade is back at Madison Square Garden for the first time since 2022, adding another experienced contender into the mix. He is joined by Welsh duo Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price, while Stephen Bunting returns after topping last year’s World Series standings.

As ever, North American players will look to make their mark against the visiting elite. Jim Long, Alex Spellman and David Cameron are among those confirmed, with further spots decided through qualification.

The North American Darts Championship will also take place on 26 June, offering another route onto the global stage.

With a field stacked with proven winners and emerging contenders, and the backdrop of one of the sport’s most recognisable venues, the US Darts Masters once again shapes up as a key moment in the World Series calendar.
