The PDC Pro Tour rolls on with Players Championship 30 set for Wednesday September 23 in Den Bosch, with action running from 12:00 to 18:00 and available to watch live via PDCTV.
The 2026 Players Championship series comprises 34 events in all, taking place at Halle 39 in Hildesheim, Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan, Leicester Arena in the same city, Arena MK in Milton Keynes, as well as a first visit to Den Bosch at Maaspoort. That trip to Maaspoort sees ProTour darts return to Holland for the first time in a long while, though Leicester populates the vast majority of these tournaments. The series continued on August 25-26 with Players Championship 27 and 28 in Leicester.
The player field is a mix of big names throughout the year, but as ever it is subject to change, with Premier League players in particular likely to pick and choose. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, for instance, have either said they will in part skip some events or only play in Wigan, while other top names have previously snubbed playing in Germany due to the travel. Expect Littler, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price at junctures throughout the year. The main goal for the field is to qualify for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead, which take place towards the back end of 2026 before the PDC World Darts Championship — and with Littler and co having had issues qualifying last year, the race to the finish always adds an additional dynamic.
All matches on the four main boards can be watched live via PDCTV, the PDC's official streaming channel. Fans can choose from several subscription options: a monthly pass (£9.99), an annual subscription (£59.99) or a flexible multi-day short-use pass. It gives fans a unique opportunity to experience the Players Championship tournaments up close — the floor tournaments where new stars emerge and established names sometimes lose out surprisingly early.
The Den Bosch double-header continues with Players Championship 31 on Wednesday October 28 (12:00 – 18:00) and Players Championship 32 on Thursday October 29 (12:00 – 18:00), both on PDCTV. The series then moves to Leicester for Players Championship 33 on Wednesday November 4 (13:00 – 19:00) and Players Championship 34 on Thursday November 5 (13:00 – 19:00), also on PDCTV.
