The European Championship final between Ross Smith and Martin Schindler is scheduled for Sunday night at 20:30 UK time, following the semi-finals earlier in the evening. The tournament, held from 22 to 25 October 2026, will conclude with the final session starting at 18:00 UK time, with the semi-finals beginning at 18:10 and 19:10 respectively.
In the first semi-final, Ross Smith will take on Gerwyn Price at 18:10, while Martin Schindler faces Krzysztof Ratajski at 19:10. The winners will then meet in the final at 20:30. The entire tournament is being shown in the UK on ITV4 and ITVX, with nightly sessions starting at 6pm UK time (7pm local time in Germany and the Netherlands). Sunday also features an afternoon session before the evening finale.
The European Championship, which acts as the closer to the current season on the European Tour, sees Gian van Veen as the defending champion. The field is headlined by former champion Ross Smith, who is the top seed, as well as Wessel Nijman. Luke Littler is currently seventh seed, with Luke Humphries eighth. Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, and James Wade are among the other headline names in the field. The top 32 in the Order of Merit qualify, with ranking money earned from the 15 European Tour events held as part of the PDC Pro Tour determining the field.
For viewers outside the UK, coverage is available on Viaplay in the Netherlands and DAZN in Germany, while PDCTV offers access for the price of an annual subscription at no extra cost. The UK broadcast is free-to-air all weekend, likely featuring the usual pundits and commentators, including Wayne Mardle and Chris Mason. The sessions last for around four hours, from 6pm to 10pm UK time, with an afternoon session on Saturday from 12pm and another on Sunday before the final.
