The 2026 International Darts Open reaches its conclusion in Riesa tonight, with eight players left standing and the title to be decided across one final session. Michael van Gerwen returns after a much-improved win over Damon Heta, while James Wade is still alive after his dramatic escape against Wessel Nijman.

Rob Cross, Gian van Veen, Ryan Searle, Ryan Joyce, Ross Smith and Cameron Menzies complete the quarter-final line-up, with the semi-finals and final to follow later this evening. The action is live from the final session, with all results and key moments being updated throughout the night.

Van Gerwen, Wade and van Veen are among the headline names chasing Euro Tour glory, while defending champion Stephen Bunting saw his title defence ended by Rob Cross in the previous round. The tournament has already seen dramatic moments, including van Gerwen surviving six match darts in his earlier match.
