The Czech Darts Open 2026 is next on the European Tour calendar, running from September 4 to September 6 in Prague. It marks the 12th European Tour event of the season and the second of three consecutive weeks of action. As usual, the tournament spans three days with afternoon and evening sessions daily, starting at 12:00 PM BST and 6:00 PM BST respectively. All matches can be followed live on PDC TV.

Luke Humphries is the defending champion, having won three of the last four editions and becoming synonymous with Prague in recent years. However, he will face a familiar adversary in Luke Littler, who finally returns to European Tour action after months away. The field is stacked with big names including Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Jonny Clayton, and James Wade, though withdrawals are always possible on the European Tour.

Beau Greaves made history last week as the first female to play on the European Tour, averaging 104 in defeat. She will hope to become the first to win this weekend when she returns. Other ProTour qualifiers include Martin Schindler, Rob Cross, Luke Woodhouse, Joe Cullen, and Cameron Menzies. They will face the qualifiers, which include Greaves, Cristo Reyes, Kim Huybrechts, and Callan Rydz among others in the first round.

The big names enter in the second round on Saturday, with Humphries and Littler among those paired with first-round winners. The tournament follows a bracket order from the later stages until the champion is crowned. Last weekend saw Ross Smith win the Hungarian Darts Trophy, defeating Gary Anderson in the final, so the European Tour is well and truly back.

TV Guide: Friday, September 4 – First round (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM - 11:00 PM CET); Saturday, September 5 – Second round (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM CET); Sunday, September 6 – Third round (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM) and Quarterfinals, semifinals and final (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM CET).
