The tournament was won for the second time by Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton in 2023, after they previously proved the best team in 2020. However Price cannot participate in the upcoming edition of the World Cup of Darts due to health raesons. His place will be taken by Jim Williams. Four-time champion England will be represented by world champion Luke Humphries - making his debut at the World Cup - and world number three Michael Smith. Peter Wright and Gary Anderson make up the Scottish team. Michael van Gerwen and Danny Noppert will play on behalf of the Netherlands at the World Cup of Darts.
On behalf of the Netherlands, Michael van Gerwen and Danny Noppert will be in action at the World Cup of Darts. Three times Van Gerwen was part of the winning team. Then he played with Raymond van Barneveld, while 'Barney' also took the title once together with Co Stompé. However, the last World Cup title for the Netherlands dates back to 2018. These four nations will not be in action until the knockout stage of the tournament, as they are exempt from participating in the group stage as top nations.
The remaining 36 teams will be split into 12 groups of three countries each. All group matches will be played on Thursday, June 27, and Friday, June 28. The group winner of each pool will advance to the last 16. Countries starting in the group stage include outsiders such as Belgium (Dimitri van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts), Australia (Damon Heta and Simon Whitlock), Northern Ireland (Josh Rock and Brendan Dolan) and Germany (Martin Schindler and Gabriel Clemens).
Incidentally, in addition to Van Gerwen and Noppert, three other Dutchmen are competing at the World Cup of Darts. Jeffrey de Graaf is making his debut as a Swede at the World Cup of Darts alongside Oskar Lukasiak, while Jules van Dongen is making his third appearance on behalf of the United States. Van Dongen forms a team with Danny Lauby this year. Cor Dekker is on the Norwegian team along with Hakon Bjorge Helling.
The second round, featuring the last remaining 16 countries, will compete for a spot in the quarterfinals on Saturday, June 29. These will take place on Sunday afternoon, June 30. The semifinals and finals are scheduled for Sunday evening.

- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026
- Need to see her take part in the womens tour. She'll break the inernet.medinabello08-09-2026
- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
