Field
The rules have changed over the years so only those not in the top 64 of the main PDC Order of Merit can play so any player from that 65-128 and anyone within the age limit. E.g Beau Greaves and Charlie Manby as brand new Tour Card Holders can be involved.
So a mix of both PDC Tour Card holders who are 23 and under as of January 2026. The minimum age is 16. Greaves as a result can still play on this tour for instance in the upcoming year but unlike previously where it was top 32 and under, this protection ceases when you are secure in the Tour Card spots.
Beau Greaves has held a PDC Tour Card since this season
Prize Money
The prize money sees £3,000 for the winner of each tournament. The runner-up claims £2,000. The semi-finalists seal £1,000.
Quarter-Finals claim £750. Last 16 losers claim £350. Overall there is a total payout per event of £20,000. This is the same as the Challenge Tour also.

| Quarter-finals | £750 |

Format - what is on offer?
There are 24 events in all spread between Milton Keynes, Leicester, Hildesheim and Wigan and there are two tournaments a day on Friday and Saturday with one on Sunday so there are five in all apart from the last weekend where there are only four. The matches are first to four to the Quarter-Finals, then the rest is best of nine.
The top two players on the Development Tour who have not secured their Tour Card through another route win a two-year Tour Card for 2027 and 2028. The top three also qualify for the PDC World Darts Championship if they haven't done through another method already.
While the highest ranked player on the Development Tour Order of Merit receives a spot at the 2026 Grand Slam of Darts.
The players in the top 16 of the Order of Merit, who had not obtained a PDC Tour Card before 2027 Qualifying School (Q–School), were granted free entry to the final stage of Q–School. The eight highest ranked players from the Order of Merit, who did not earn a Tour Card for the 2026 season, qualified for the first round of the 2026 UK Open.
TV Guide
The Development Tour is not available to watch. Albeit it potentially will be in the future after DAZN confirmed a deal which sees the events shown in Germany from 2027 so it seems that this could yet be on the horizon in the UK and further afield.
This means that for now only the results on DartConnect are available as well as through our Tournament Centre.
Predictions
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for DartsNews.com sees Charlie Manby finishing atop the Development Tour Order of Merit.
I think that Beau Greaves is quite often an easy answer but also I don't see her playing every single event either so I don't think she will lead but I'm intrigued to see how she gets on.
While Charlie Manby, Sebastian Bialecki, Owen Bates, Cam Crabtree and Tyler Thorpe for me are other players to watch. Thorpe has settled into main tour life well while the others have either been class of the field in previous Development Tours or are now great as Tour Card holders.
So I see the pool of players sealing World Championship spots and topping the Order of Merit being as thus.

Cam Crabtree in action.
Mats Leering, Editor for DartsNieuws.com sees Jurjen van der Velde as a potential winner.
The Development Tour is the perfect breeding ground for talent to develop and qualify for the World Championship or win their Tour Card. In addition, there are always a few established names participating.
One of those names is Beau Greaves, who I expect to do very well here this year. Greaves has already secured her Tour Card and may skip some tournaments due to other commitments, but I still think that with her talent, she is good enough to finish high in the tournaments she does play.
Three other names I expect a lot from are the Dutch players Jamai van den Herik, Owen Roelofs and Jurjen van der Velde. Van der Velde has already made a name for himself at the PDC, and I see him as a serious contender to be at the top of the Order of Merit at the end of the year. Van den Herik and Roelofs are two talents who I think can seriously compete to finish high in the rankings.
Jurjen van der Velde to shine?
Of course, there are also a lot of English players who have the potential to finish high. Think of Cam Crabtree, who already played at the World Darts Championship last december. We also have Charlie Manby, who went on to the last 16 in Ally Pally and Tyler Thorpe, a name to keep in mind.
In addition, there are two Germans to keep an eye on: 18-year-olds Yorick Hofkens and Leon Weber. Hofkens won his tour card in January and is known as a great talent. Weber has already shown what he can do at the PDC on several occasions.
Other names to keep an eye on are Sebastian Bialecki and Dylan Slevin, who both already have experience on the PDC Pro Tour.

- 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
