US Darts Masters 2026: Field, When is the draw confirmed, Format, History

The World Series of Darts returns and not only is the World Cup bringing sporting action to the US, but the top PDC stars will also strut their stuff at Madison Square Garden between June 26-27.

Taking place at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, it is the fourth event on the World Series of Darts this year and is also joined by the North American Championship which sees the winner seal their spot at the PDC World Darts Championship.

Luke Humphries is defending US Darts Masters champion having defeated Nathan Aspinall 8-6 in the 2025 final. Michael van Gerwen has won multiple titles and has reached another final so is far and away leading the World Series of Darts Order of Merit.

He won't play in the US though or Australia/New Zealand. But the field is led by Littler, Humphries, Gian van Veen, Gerwyn Price, Stephen Bunting, James Wade, Jonny Clayton and Josh Rock as well as the top US and Canadian stars such as Jim Long, Leonard Gates, Alex Spellman, Alex Sevada and former UK Open finalist Gary Mawson.

While not confirmed, it will likely be set early in the week on Tuesday or Wednesday when the PDC arrive at MSG for Media Day and other such commitments. It will appear here when confirmed.

The format for the World Series follows a format of short and sharp in the early rounds so first to six then for the final two games, it increases. One that no doubt lends itself on paper to potential shocks.
