The PDC Pro Tour continues on Thursday, October 29 with Players Championship 32 at Maaspoort in Den Bosch, marking the first visit to the Dutch city for the Players Championship series. The event is part of a 34-tournament Players Championship calendar in 2026, which also stops at Halle 39 in Hildesheim, Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan, Leicester Arena, and Arena MK in Milton Keynes, with Leicester hosting the vast majority of events.
Fans in the UK, US, and Australia can watch all matches from the four main boards live via PDCTV, the PDC's official streaming channel. Subscription options include a monthly pass at £9.99, an annual subscription at £59.99, or a flexible multi-day short-use pass. Coverage on Thursday runs from 12:00 to 18:00. The following two events, Players Championship 33 and 34, take place in Leicester on Wednesday, November 4 and Thursday, November 5, both from 13:00 to 19:00.
The player field is always subject to change, with Premier League stars likely to pick and choose their events. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries have either said they will in part skip some tournaments or only play in Wigan, while other top names have previously snubbed playing in Germany due to travel. Expect Littler, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, and Gerwyn Price to appear at junctures throughout the year.
The main goal for players is to qualify for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead, held towards the back end of 2026 before the PDC World Darts Championship. Littler and company had issues qualifying last year, adding an extra dynamic to the race to the finish. The floor tournaments also offer a unique opportunity to see new stars emerge and established names sometimes lose out surprisingly early.
