The Flanders Darts Trophy 2026 is next on the PDC European Tour calendar, taking place from Friday September 11 to Sunday September 13 in Antwerp. This marks the 13th time the event has been held, continuing the tour's sojourn to countries beyond Germany, with Basel and Maastricht in Switzerland and the Netherlands to follow.
UK fans can catch all the action live on PDC TV, with the tournament spread over three days featuring afternoon and evening sessions each day. Afternoon sessions start daily at 12:00 PM BST, while evening sessions begin at 6:00 PM BST. The schedule runs from Friday's first round through Saturday's second round, and Sunday's third round in the afternoon, followed by quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final in the evening session.
As of time of writing, Luke Littler is set to play, though the line-up won't be fully confirmed until the draw, with late withdrawals possible. Littler has already qualified for the European Championship, making it semi-unlikely he'll compete this weekend. Luke Humphries would be top seed, but shoulder issues during his final run might also lead him to take a weekend off. Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen, and Gian van Veen are others involved who would take de facto top spot if the two Lukes decide not to play.
Littler is the defending champion but is unlikely to play. Beau Greaves made history last time out by becoming the first female to win on the European Tour, and she returns again after qualifying for the last three events. Also involved are Raymond van Barneveld, Martin Schindler, Rob Cross, Joe Cullen, Cameron Menzies, among others who mostly qualify through the ProTour and the Tour Card Holder Qualifier.
The big names enter the tournament on Saturday, facing ProTour players or qualifiers from Friday's action, meaning the first chance to see most stars is Saturday night. From the latter stages, the bracket order means the winner of each game faces the next in the quarterfinals, making it easier to follow and creating further narrative.
