The organization behind World Seniors Darts has announced the first participants for the 2026 World Seniors Darts Championship. Defending champion Ross Montgomery will be among them, and four other players have also been revealed.
John Henderson, the 2024 champion, has also accepted his invitation to the World Seniors Darts Championship. His participation, however, is subject to the situation of not holding a PDC Tour Card in 2026. Players with Tour Cards are not allowed to participate in TV events of another organization.
Robert Thornton, winner of the 2022 and 2023 editions, is also among the field of participants. Furthermore, the participation of Richie Howson and Australian darts legend Simon Whitlock has been confirmed.
It was previously announced that the next edition of the World Seniors Darts Championship will take place from Feb. 19 to 21, 2026. As in past years, the tournament will be played at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet.

- Be a bit more original than tacking ‘gate’ on to anything controversial, its old hat.Mysstree19-06-2025
- The perfect darts player has to have the ability of Phil Taylor, looks of Chris Mason with the tan of Steve Beaton The throw, toughness and personality of Richie Burnett with Ted Hankey walk on music and the 9 darter celebration of Dean Winstanly. Mr Brightside always reminds me of Dean Winstanly as it was his original theme.richieburnettrocks18-06-2025
- Most of the players are already whinging about playing to much, unless something else is going to be axed where will another couple of competitions be squeezed in?Mysstree16-06-2025
- Indeed. The kid should grow up. Part of the game.SheGotLegs16-06-2025
- i also didn't see littler kicking off about this issue when it was his fans whistling and putting off opponents, which was happening on the regular during his first year on tour. humphries had to deal with it basically every time they played each other.colt16-06-2025
- Brilliant, Eric knew the risks and like most who die his age, bollox to being old and all that. Fair play to him and the rest of those who die young doing the same thing.Plaza15-06-2025
- So all of a sudden Littler is just a kid and it’s unfair as the Media’s darling golden boy gets the grief, never a problem though was it while it was Gerwyn Price. Been saying this for ages that something needs doing about crowd behaviour but the PDC don’t really care as long as the pissed up punters flock to Premier League night. The worry for the PDC is that as Littler has gone beyond the darts fan base and is the most high profile player in the world there is the risk that he is bigger than the PDC and then others with more clout (government for example) may start telling them to clean up their act. Bazza, Eddie and Porter will hate that.Mysstree15-06-2025
- As much as it's disappointing that England lost,Peter Wright's speculation didn't help himself and Gary either. It is, however, another pointless tournament. So,like the football club world cup,it means absolutely nothingrick6714-06-2025
