Players Championship 15 gets underway today in Leicester, with several top names again opting out of the East Midlands event. However, a strong contingent of Premier League stars including Michael van Gerwen, Stephen Bunting, Jonny Clayton and Josh Rock are in action, alongside forerunner Wessel Nijman.

The tournament, taking place on Tuesday 12 May 2026, features a field of PDC tour card holders competing for the title and prize money. The draw has already been made, with notable first-round matches including Beau Greaves facing Damon Heta, while Van Gerwen, Nijman and others have learned their opening opponents.

Coverage of the event is available via live stream and TV, with guides published for viewers in the UK, USA and Australia. The action continues on Wednesday with Players Championship 16 at the same venue.
