The PDC Pro Tour continues with Players Championship 31 and 32, taking place on October 28 and 29 at Maaspoort in Den Bosch. This marks the first visit to Den Bosch for the Players Championship, as part of the 34-event 2026 calendar. The tournaments will be held at Halle 39 in Hildesheim, Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan, Leicester Arena, Arena MK in Milton Keynes, and now Maaspoort in Den Bosch.
All matches on the four main boards will be streamed 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. This 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 broadcast times for the upcoming Players Championship events are as follows: Players Championship 31 on Wednesday, October 28 in Den Bosch from 12:00 to 18:00 on PDCTV; Players Championship 32 on Thursday, October 29 in Den Bosch from 12:00 to 18:00 on PDCTV; Players Championship 33 on Wednesday, November 4 in Leicester from 13:00 to 19:00 on PDCTV; and Players Championship 34 on Thursday, November 5 in Leicester from 13:00 to 19:00 on PDCTV.
The Players Championship features a mix of big names throughout the year, but as ever, this will be 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 ones or only play in Wigan. Other top names have also previously snubbed playing in Germany due to the travel. So who will play in them is always a mixed bag, but expect Littler, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, and Gerwyn Price at junctures throughout the year.
The main goal is to qualify for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead that take place towards the back end of 2026 before the PDC World Darts Championship. Littler and Co. had issues qualifying last year, so it always gives an additional dynamic with the race to the finish.
