The PDC Pro Tour rolls on this week with Players Championship 27 and 28 taking place in Leicester on August 25-26, as Luke Littler and co continue their quest to qualify for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead. The 2026 season features 34 Players Championship events in total, held across venues including Halle 39 in Hildesheim, Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan, Leicester Arena, Arena MK in Milton Keynes, and a first visit to Den Bosch's Maaspoort, marking a return of ProTour darts to Holland.
While the entry lists are subject to change, with Premier League players often picking and choosing their events, fans can expect to see the likes of Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, and Gerwyn Price at various points throughout the year. Littler and Humphries have indicated they may skip some events or only play in Wigan, while other top names have previously avoided Germany due to travel. The main goal for all players is to secure a spot at the Players Championship Finals in Minehead, which take place later in 2026 before the PDC World Darts Championship.
All matches on the four main boards will be streamed live via PDCTV, the PDC's official streaming channel. Fans can choose from a monthly pass at £9.99, an annual subscription at £59.99, or a flexible multi-day short-use pass, offering a unique chance to experience the floor tournaments where new stars emerge and established names can fall early.
Players Championship 28 takes place on Wednesday August 26 at Leicester Arena, with play running from 13:00 to 19:00 BST, exclusively on PDCTV. The remaining calendar includes events in Den Bosch on September 22-23 and October 28-29, followed by two more Leicester tournaments on November 4-5, all broadcast on PDCTV.
