The Nordic Darts Masters returns between 5-6 June 2026, with 16 players competing for a total prize fund of £100,000. The winner will take home £30,000, while the runner-up receives £16,000. Semi-finalists earn £10,000, quarter-finalists get £5,000, and first-round losers collect £1,750. Order of Merit points are also awarded: 12 for the winner, 8 for the runner-up, 5 for semi-finalists, 3 for quarter-finalists, and 1 for first-round losers.
Luke Littler leads the field, but Michael van Gerwen tops the World Series Order of Merit after winning the Bahrain event. Van Gerwen lost in the Saudi Arabia final 8-5, keeping him ahead. Luke Humphries and Gian van Veen are also among the big names, with van Veen earning a full World Series spot after his World Championship final run. Jonny Clayton, Gerwyn Price, Stephen Bunting, and James Wade round out the Premier League contingent, with Wade replacing Josh Rock, who is the only Premier League star not making the trip.
Stephen Bunting is the defending champion, having beaten Rob Cross 8-4 in the 2025 final. Bunting returns to defend his title, but Cross will not compete in 2026. The Nordic and Baltic representatives include Madars Razma, Jeffrey de Graaf, Cor Dekker, Oskar Lukasiak, Viktor Tingstrom, and Darius Labanauskas. Andreas Harrysson and Daniel Larsson qualified through rankings rather than Tour Cards.
The World Series of Darts Finals prize money has increased from £400,000 to £450,000 for the next season, but the main events remain unchanged. Unlike Saudi Arabia, the Nordic Darts Masters does not feature a nine-dart bonus or the Riyadh Season Bullseye. After Copenhagen, the World Series moves to the US Darts Masters in New York.
