From Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October, Maastricht hosts the Dutch Darts Championship 2026. It is the fifteenth and final tournament of this season’s PDC European Tour.
With Michael van Gerwen, Gian van Veen, Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton among those competing, an exciting weekend of darts is in store.
The Dutch Darts Championship brings the European Tour season to a close. In Maastricht, players will compete not only for the year’s final European Tour title, but also for vital places in the European Tour Order of Merit. The top 32 players in the standings qualify for the European Championship, which takes place in Dortmund from 22 to 25 October.
Ross Smith has already secured top spot in the standings and will begin the European Championship as the top seed. Several other players still have plenty to play for in Maastricht, as they look to secure their place in the European Championship.
Michael van Gerwen is one of many Dutch players competing at the Dutch Darts Championship.
The 48-player field includes 16 seeded players, who enter the tournament in the second round. Luke Humphries is the top seed, followed by Gian van Veen and Gerwyn Price. Jonny Clayton, who won the Swiss Darts Trophy in Basel last Sunday, is seeded fourth.
Michael van Gerwen, Danny Noppert, Wessel Nijman and Jermaine Wattimena are also among the seeded players. Other players, including Dirk van Duijvenbodd, Niels Zonneveld and Jeffrey de Graaf, qualified through the ProTour Order of Merit. Kim Huybrechts is also in the field. The tournament is particularly important for “The Hurricane”, who is still fighting for a place in the European Championship.
Other familiar names in action on the opening day include Rob Cross, Damon Heta, Cameron Menzies, Joe Cullen and Dave Chisnall. Scott Williams, Max Hopp and Michael Smith are among those who qualified through the Tour Card qualifier.
The Dutch Darts Championship gets under way with the first round on Friday 16 October. The 32 unseeded players will compete across the afternoon and evening sessions.
The 16 seeded players do not begin their campaigns until Saturday. They will face Friday’s winners in the second round. That means players such as Van Gerwen, Van Veen, Nijman, Humphries, Price and Clayton will play their opening matches on Saturday 17 October.
Sunday 18 October is devoted entirely to the tournament’s conclusion. The afternoon session features all eight third-round matches. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will then be played in succession during the evening session.
Darts fans in the UK can watch the Dutch Darts Championship live on PDCTV.
A PDCTV subscription is required to watch the matches. The platform also carries other PDC events, including the Players Championship tournaments.
