PDC Women's Series 2026: Calendar, Prize Money, Format, How to Watch and Predictions

The PDC Women's Series comprises 24 different tournaments over the course of the season and takes place in the UK and Germany, bringing together the top females on their own secondary tour. This Tournament Centre covers the full results, calendar, prize money, format, how to watch and predictions.

Beau Greaves, who has forerun with record-breaking wins and titles, now inhabits life on the PDC ProTour, so the likelihood of her playing as much going forward decreases. But Fallon Sherrock, Lisa Ashton, and Noa-Lynn van Leuven are likely contenders again this season.

It holds big rewards with spots at the Women's World Matchplay, Grand Slam of Darts, as well as the PDC World Darts Championship for the top players, albeit it is the only secondary tour that does not gleam Tour Cards, with Greaves needing to go the Development Tour Order of Merit to get hers last season.

The Women's Series comprises of 24 events with action in Milton Keynes, Leicester, Hildesheim and Wigan. Usually they tag onto other weekends including ProTours and Challenge Tours.

With prize money increases across the board in 2026, the winner will seal £2,500. The runner-up claims £1,000 while it goes all the way down to Last 64 losers who seal £75.

The format is best of seven legs up until to the Quarter Finals, and then best of nine legs for the quarters, semis and final. These events will have an open draw and no seeded players. This means no protection for the big names.

Matches played on the streamed board will be broadcast live on PDCTV, the PDC’s official streaming service. Viewers must register for an account and choose a subscription option:

Each match day will begin at 11:00am with the first event being shown before the second event follows in the hours that follow and the same can be said for Saturday and for the sole event on a Sunday. It will also be available results wise on DartConnect.

Samuel Gill, Head Editor for DartsNews.com believes Beau Greaves will still dominate.

I think Beau Greaves will play the Women's Series just like the secondary tours last year in that she played enough to get herself in a good position and picked and choosed otherwise.

For instance though on weekend one, she would play the ProTours straight after so often it benefits her as she is in the same place. So I think it depends more on how much she picks and chooses.

I see Fallon Sherrock picking up the pieces and Gemma Hayter is only getting stronger. Lisa Ashton always has the ability to mix it up while perhaps we will see new contenders emerge given that Greaves may not be involved as much and others such as Van Leuven are semi fading in terms of their form.

Mats Leering, Editor for DartsNieuws.com sees Fallon Sherrock having a big chance.

Last year, the Women's Series was completely dominated by Beau Greaves. However, now that she has secured her Tour Card and will be playing on the PDC Pro Tour, the question is how much she will continue to be active in women's darts. She may decide to skip several tournaments, giving others a chance to shine.

Names that could then have a chance of finishing as number one in the Order of Merit are Fallon Sherrock, Lisa Ashton and Noa-Lynn van Leuven. They already finished as numbers 2, 3 and 4 in the Order of Merit last year and could benefit from Greaves' possible absence. However, even if she decides to skip several tournaments, Greaves could still top the rankings. With her talent, she is far above the other names and could win everything she participates in, even with fewer matches, and thus become number one.

Two other names to watch this year are Gemma Hayter and Kirsi Viinikainen, who may attempt to finish in the top 3 of the Order of Merit and claim a ticket to the World Darts Championship.

Lucas Michael, Editor for DartsNews.com sees business as usual.

Another season of the Women’s Series is in store, with the best women darters in the world looking to fight tooth and nail for the prestigious rewards.

I believe the same names will be at the top of the list, and that includes the talented Beau Greaves who will have to juggle the Women’s Series with PDC Tour action this year, something that she should relish.

While this may mean she is in less events, I believe she will be too strong for the chasing pack. I will go out and say that a rejuvenated Fallon Sherrock will push her in the standings, comfortably solidifying a spot in the top three.

For me, it is a toss of a coin on who will come third behind these two with Lisa Ashton, Noa-Lynn van Leuven and Gemma Hayter all playing some tremendous darts. I will edge Ashton to complete the top three but can see Hayter closing the gap once more to the top players.

With Greaves possibly not playing as much, there are going to be a lot more chances for other players to clinch titles. The likes of Kirsi Viinikainen and Robyn Byrne hopeful of picking up some big wins in 2026 to close them in with a chance of getting into Ally Pally.

In the end, if Beau Greaves is going to be competing on the Women’s Series, all eyes will be her, and it has to be a super-herculean performance if you are going to get anything off the 22-year-old.

Nicolas Gayer, Editor for DartsNews.DE sees a strong year for Fallon Sherrock if Greaves doesn't play in particular.

A key question looms over the upcoming season of the PDC Women’s Series: will Beau Greaves compete on the women’s circuit — and if so, how often? In truth, the second part of that question is almost redundant, as the 22-year-old sensation would probably need only a handful of events to dominate every ranking and statistical category.

Behind Greaves, I expect a strong year from Fallon Sherrock. The “Queen of the Palace” appears to have put her health issues behind her, and in my view she will return in improved form in 2026. Alongside evergreen Lisa Ashton, I also anticipate a very solid season from Gemma Hayter, who made an impressive showing on her PDC World Championship debut and will hopefully carry that momentum into the new campaign.

I very much hope that Noa-Lynn van Leuven can recover from her mental setbacks in 2026 and once again find in darts the safe space it ought to be.
