The European Darts Grand Prix 2026 is set to take place from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19 at the Glaspalast in Sindelfingen, Germany, marking the fifth event of the PDC European Tour season. Matches will be broadcast live on PDC TV, with afternoon sessions starting daily at 12:00 PM and evening sessions at 6:00 PM. The tournament schedule includes first-round matches on Friday across afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM CET) and evening (7:00 PM - 11:00 PM CET) sessions, second-round matches on Saturday with the same time slots, and third-round matches on Sunday afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM CET), followed by quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final in the evening (7:00 PM - 11:00 PM CET).
In the field, Luke Littler will skip the event, while Luke Humphries, who has been sparse in participation this season, will play the ProTour in Wigan instead. Gian van Veen is the top seed, joined by Michael van Gerwen, Jonny Clayton, James Wade, Josh Rock, Gerwyn Price, Nathan Aspinall, Martin Schindler, and defending champion Gary Anderson. ProTour Order of Merit qualifiers include Dirk van Duijvenbode, Cameron Menzies, Niko Springer, Daryl Gurney, Krzysztof Ratajski, Dave Chisnall, and Peter Wright, with Rob Cross leading the Tour Card qualifier line-up.
Defending champion Gary Anderson, who defeated Andrew Gilding 8-0 in last year's final, is set to return to Sindelfingen to defend his title. The tournament structure sees the first round on Friday with Pro Tour players facing sixteen qualifiers, the second round on Saturday when seeded players enter, and the finale on Sunday with the third round in the afternoon and quarterfinals, semifinals, and final in the evening.
