Players could qualify for this tournament through several routes. On the one hand, this could be done by reaching finals at the televised tournaments. Because these criteria did not yield sixteen players, three Euro Tour winners and a Players Championship winner were also added to the lineup. Furthermore, there are eight international qualifiers and eight winners of the qualifying tournament for PDC Tour Card holders.
The pot draw is based on the position of the players in the world rankings. The first eight players have been given seeded status and have already been divided among the eight groups. World champion and defending champion Michael Smith is in Group A. Also on his side of the schedule will be Jonny Clayton (Group B), Luke Humphries (Group C) and Gerwyn Price (Group D).
Peter Wright (Group E) is the highest-ranked player at the bottom of the tournament schedule. He is joined by Danny Noppert (F), Michael van Gerwen (Group G) and Nathan Aspinall (Group H).
The remaining 24 participants will be placed in the eight pots in the draw. In pot 2 are Rob Cross, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Dave Chisnall, Damon Heta, James Wade, Ryan Searle, Chris Dobey and Andrew Gilding.
Pot 3 includes Gary Anderson, Stephen Bunting, Krzysztof Ratajski, Josh Rock, Brendan Dolan, Ricardo Pietreczko, Martijn Kleermaker and Gian van Veen. Finally, Steve Lennon, Nathan Rafferty, Berry van Peer, Nathan Girvan, Beau Greaves, Fallon Sherrock, Haruki Muramatsu and Stowe Buntz are in pot 4.

- 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
